Digvijay Singh vs Pragya Thakur , Batala House vs Malegaon , Mohan Sharma vs Hemant Karkare : कांग्रेस करे तो रास लीला बीजेपी करे तो  करैक्टर ढीला

BJP’s announcement of terror accused Sadhvi Pragya Thakur as a candidate against Digvijai Singh has led to a thousand tongues wagging against nominating a terror accused as a candidate for  MP . It must be acknowledged that it is a bad practice to nominate criminals for elections but every party is guilty of it . BJP cannot be faulted alone in this lapse .

Firstly they forget that a Phoolan Devi a dacoit who had murdered 22 Thakurs in Bahmai and countless others and had served a long jail sentence was not only nominated but was  a member Lok Sabha for five years . Pragya is only an accused in contrast . Pragya has apologised for her comments on Hemant Karkare , an Ashok Chakra awardee and an honest officer who sacrificed his life in Mumbai attack . But inspector Mohan Sharma too was an Ashok Chakra awardee who was shot at and died in Batala House encounter case .

For those who may not know , in Delhi in sept 2008 ,members of  Indian Mujahidin who was responsible for Delhi serial bombings in which several  persons died  , had taken shelter in Jamia Nagar’s Btala House . Inspector Mohan Sharma was killed in shoot out by terrorist bullets . Just like Hemant Karkare he was awarded Ashok Chakra . Some terrorists were killed in the encounter . Later some minority community persons declered that a fake encounter . Protest rallies were taken out . Those who indirectly questioned the sacrifice of inspector Sharma were even given plum posts .

Digviajai Singh and Sonia Gandhi declared that a fake enounter . Salman Khurshid even stated that Sonia Gandhi cried and could not sleep that night .

Now suddely tables have turned and now it is congress accusing BJP of doing same thing .

But sanity demands that police , army actions should not be politicised and nation should unite against terror . Even Supreme Court , EC , President and governors should be apolitical and should have the confidence of whole nation .

Now the pot has decided to call the kettle black

one can only recall a popular song

कांग्रेस करे तो रास लीला बीजेपी करे तो करैक्टर ढीला
