How did terrorists reach Ram temple? Vajpayee asks govt

Jul. 6, 2005

 

Raising questions over security of the makeshift temple in Ayodhya,

former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee on Wednesday asked the

government to explain how heavily armed terrorists were able to reach

the disputed site. "The question is how the terrorists reached the

Ram temple. The government has to give an answer how they (the

terrorists) were able to reach that point," the senior BJP leader

said after planting a sapling on the occasion of the 105th birth

anniversary of Jan Sangh founder Shyama Prakash Mookerjee. "The

country is surrounded by dangers. No doubt we are strong and can

protect our liberty, but the slightest mistake", he said. Asserting

that the terrorist attack highlighted the dangers which India's

freedom still faced, he said the country had to be `always on alert'

and stand united to meet such threats. "We want to make our

independence everlasting and invincible, but it is still surrounded

by many dangers. All barriers to our freedom do not seem to have been

removed," Vajpayee said. He said laxity could set in when

independence becomes safe and unhindered, "but we will have to be

always on alert." BJP president L.K. Advani said Mookerjee's

contribution to the integrity of the nation was unparalled. "He

entered Jammu and Kashmir without a permit in 1953 when you could be

shot for doing so. It was only after this that the permit system was

abolished," Advani said.
