After that we tried to make peaceful relations with Pakistan and we again face the highjacking of Indian Airlines flight IC- 814 from Nepal to Kandahar (Afghanistan) and Bajpai Government forced to took the decision to release most dreaded militant Azhar Masood and its associates from jail and taken to Kandhar by then Foreign Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh,” he added.
Dr Sharma said that it is pertinent to take in account while dealing to curb militants and antinational activities the release of Azhar Masood who happened the chief of Jaish-e-Mohammad militant outfit was right or wrong in the national interest. The Jaish chief Azhar Masood is spreading and managing most of fidayeen attacks in India. Masood not only managing fidayeen attacks in India but also playing a major role in luring and motivating the youth towards militancy.
The Congress leader said that Mr Modi and BJP always accused Congress and advised Dr Manmohan Singh for not sending love letters to Pakistan, they tell the nation where Mr Modi and his associates stand now? The BJP Government is weak to curb militancy and to deal with antinational elements.
