Patna: Charging the Manmohan Singh government
with being a "failure on the diplomatic front, the BJP on Sunday
said the US did not want custodial interrogation of David
Headley in New Delhi because it would "expose the details of
the Karachi project about the Mumbai attacks".
"I see very disturbing clouds over the security horizon of
the country as national security is not in safe hands," BJP
General Secretary Ravishankar Prasad told reporters here.
Castigating the Centre for its `failure` to check
escalating prices of essential commodities, Prasad said, "It
is unfortunate that the present PM is an economist and yet
there has been no control over spiralling prices."
"Why is the food economy being mismanaged? What happened
to the sugar produced here? There are millions of questions in
people`s minds which cry for answers," he said and alleged
that the Congress was protecting the interests of middlemen.
Prices of essential commodities had been under control
under the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, he claimed.
On the objections by Congress workers in Maharashtra
over the presence of actor Amitabh Bachchan at the official
inauguration of Mumbai sea-link project, Prasad said "We
(BJP) treat it as a theatre of absurd."
"In fact, the Congress is desperately trying to divert
people`s attention from the problems, including price rise and
national security, India is facing to irrelevant issues," he
added.
