BJP Youth Activists Burn PM's Effigy

Activists of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) Yuva Morcha in Patna on Wednesday burnt the effigy of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh accusing him and the UPA government at the Center of adopting pro-terrorist policies and fomenting anti-Hindu sentiments to seize Muslim votes for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.Calling Singh a sympathizer of Islamic terrorists supported by the Pakistani government, the protestors at the Dak Bungalow Crossing said the UPA government was playing with fire by insisting on destroying the Ram Setu."On one hand, the Sonia government is blocking the execution of convicted terrorist Afzal Guru, on the other hand it continues to walk all over the Hindu sentiments on Ram Setu and Amarnath Shrine issue," said Atul Kumar, the vice president of the BJP Yuva Morcha.Prem Ranjan Patel, the BJP legislator, accused the UPA government of indulging in Muslim appeasement politics to garner support in the next general elections."We are not going to roll over and play dead while Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi trample all over our religious sentiments and beliefs while continuing to appease Muslims for pure political purposes," Patel said.
