Neither our borders nor our women have been safe during the past decade - Grewal
Chandigarh , 7 May 2014-
National BJP Leader Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal said that the UPA Government has failed the country so much that neither our borders nor our women have been safe during the past decade. In a press statement here today, mounting attack on the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre, senior BJP leader Grewal said neither the borders of the country nor the women within it have been safe. He said the outgoing government was so busy with corruption and scams that it did not bother to bring the bodies of our soldiers who were beheaded by Pakistani soldiers, it was only after the BJP put pressure that it agreed to ask Islamabad to hand over the bodies of our troops. Grewal criticise the UPA for jeopardising internal security of the country, the senior BJP leader said it was due to the government's insipid attitude that the morale of terrorists and anti-national forces had bolstered and they were carrying out terror activities at will. He said whether it is the carnage in Assam or blast in a train in Tamil Nadu, terrorists are having a field day with the Centre unwilling to complete probe in an expeditious manner in such incidents. Grewal said the Congress-led Government's entire tenure has been marred in corruption in which a number of ministers had to go to jails, he rued that the development took a back seat during the past ten years and industrial production came to a grinding halt, resulting in an alarming rise in unemployment rate. While charging the UPA government with bringing disrepute to the country and undoing all good works done by former Prime Minister A B Vajpayee, Grewal claimed the country could move in a positive trajectory only if Narendra Modi-led NDA comes to power at the Centre. He said the Congress rout in Delhi, Chhatisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan Assembly polls was only a beginning and the people of our country will punish it heavily in the Lok Sabha elections.
