The BJP will take on the UPA Government on issues such as inflation, terrorism and Ram Sethu during the Budget session of Parliament. The party has asked its MPs to be present in full strength when these issues are taken up for discussion.“The BJP parliamentary party met on Tuesday, under the chairmanship of L K Advani who said there’s a pro-NDA wave in the country,” party spokesperson V K Malhotra said. He added that President Pratibha Patil in her speech in Parliament did not mention issues such as inflation, terrorism, farmers’ suicides, package for Kashmiri Pandits and Ram Sethu.The BJP meeting also criticised Congress-led UPA Government for “putting pressure on the Election Commission to delay polls in Karnataka.” “Elections can easily be held by May 28. There should be no extension of President’s rule in the state,” Malhotra said.Responding guardedly to a declaration by Islamic clerics that Islam does not allow terrorism, the BJP spokesperson said it would be a welcome move if put to practice. “However, globally Islamic terrorism has increased. It will be good if they can create an awareness about this across the country,” Malhotra said.
