New Delhi, July 12: BJP President Venkaiah Naidu
today joined issue with Congress spokesperson Jaipal Reddy on
his demand that Prime Minister A B Vajpayee should appear
before the Liberhan Commission of inquiry probing the Ayodhya
demolition case saying his comments amounted to undue
interference in the commission's working.
The demand is not only "ridiculous" but also amounts to
undue interference in the working of a commission set up under
the Commission of Enquiry Act, 1952, Naidu said inaugurating
the first meeting of state presidents and general secretaries
of BJP's legal cell here, a party statement said here.
The application seeking to summon the Prime Minister is
pending before the commission and is fixed for arguments on
July 21. Therefore any verdict or opinion about the final
order is totally uncalled for and smacks of political motives,
the statement said quoting Naidu.
Lauding Vajpayee's leadership, the BJP president said the
nation is fortunate to have him as the prime minister.
Naidu, the statement added, said the Prime Minister of the country should be a person who is our national, acceptable to the whole nation, have the a capacity, vision and experience to lead the whole nation and is a perfect statesman.
