Patna,(BiharTimes): Coming down heavily on the alliance partner, the BJP, the Janata Dal (United) on Thursday said Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah was justified in equating the case of Afzal Guru, Parliament attack convict, with Rajiv Gandhi’s killers.

Party general secretary Shivanand Tiwary charged the BJP with communal bias in raising a hue and cry over the issue.
Tiwary said Omar Abdullah was cent per cent justified in his comment. The Janata Dal (United) fully supports it. He raised a very valid point when he asked what if the J&K Assembly passed a resolution like Tamil Nadu.
The BJP had already termed Omar’s comment “shocking and unfortunate”. Incidentally, it was the party spokesman Shahnawaz Hussain, who is also from Bihar, who had said that Omar Abdullah’s comments are unfortunate. Had a Hurriyat leader made such remarks, it would have been understandable. Country’s politics is bigger than the state.
Tiwary asked why the BJP didnot react similarly when the Tamil Nadu Assembly passed a unanimous resolution? If the BJP in principle feels death sentences upheld by the Supreme Court should be respected, then it should have reacted after the TN Assembly resolution. Making a distinction between Rajiv’s assassins and the Parliament attack shows communal bias, he added.
