Ten years have passed after the terrorist attack on Parliament

BJP initiates signature campaign and burn effigy of Afzal in Chandni Chowk for hanging Afzal immediately

After completion of 10 years of the terrorist attack on Indian Parliament today BJP Delhi Pradesh Sahitya Kalan Evam Sanskriti Prakosht and the Chandni Chowk District initiated signature campaign under the leadership of Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta for hanging Afzal, the convict of the Parliament attack case.  On this occasion the agitated BJP workers observed 'Akrosh Divas' by burning effigies of Afzal.

            On this occasion Shri Vijender Gupta told that what could be more unfortunate for the country than the fact that the terrorists attacked the temple of Indian democracy in broad day light and killed 9 people.  The Supreme Court had awarded death punishment to the conspirators of attack on 4th August, 2005.  The day for hanging was fixed for 20th October, 2006, but some anti national and so called intellectuals and family members of Afzal filed mercy petition to the President.  With the help of this mercy petition the Congress Government playing vote politics has not hanged Afzal as yet. 

            First of all the Chief Minister of Delhi Sheila Dikshit sat over the file for more than three years.  When on behalf of the family persons of security men killed in the attack BJP strongly raised this case then Delhi Government returned the file to Home Ministry and the Home Ministry forwarded the concerned file to the President.  The President has kept this file pending till date.  The agitated family members of the killed security forces returned the medals awarded to the martyrs.  Today they met the President of India and expressed their regret that why Afzal has not been hanged as yet. 

 

            The Convenor of Sahitya Kalan Evam Sanskriti Prakosht Shri Surender Mohan Lamba thanked the people present on the occasion for their participation in the BJP's signature campaign and expressing their acrimony against the Government.  It may be mentioned that due to failure to hang Afzal a message has gone to the terrorists in the entire world that India is a soft State against terrorism.  Here any terrorist can escape easily after committing terrorist incident.  Taking advantge of this fact at present terrorist are targeting about 400 districts of the country.  The capital Delhi also fights every day against terrorism.  Here the people have fear in mind that any time any terrorist incident may take place anywhere.  Hence there is always atmosphere of terror and fear in Delhi.  On this occastion former Mayor Mahesh Chandra Sharma, Pawan Sharma, Jai Prakash (JP), Gajendra Solanki, Arvind Garg and many office bearers were present.
