BJP backtracks on UN investigation

NEW DELHI: Two days after the head of India's main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party urged New Delhi to raise in the United Nations the issue of beheading of an Indian soldier by Pakistan, the party on Wednesday said there was no need to approach the world body.

“We should not approach anybody,” said party spokesperson Prakash Javadekar when asked if the party felt the need to raise the matter before the United Nations as suggested by BJP president Nitin Gadkari. “I expect the government of India to take this up in the United Nations. We should raise the issue in international platforms to isolate Pakistan…The prime minister should not keep quiet,” Mr Gadkari had said in Mathura. Press Trust of India said the issue was also raised by the National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon during his meeting with Leaders of the Opposition on Tuesday. While Mr Menon explained that the government was against such a step as it would internationalise the issue, Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley is understood to have told Mr Menon that this was not the party’s position and MrGadkari’s comments might have been misunderstood. On Wednesday the BJP demanded that the government should take concrete “real action” to make Pakistan understand that it should not dare to commit such a “barbaric” act again. “We have to expose Pakistan at every available opportunity,” said Mr Javadekar. “It is not a matter of condemnation or verbal response. It needs a real response and this is the time when we can get a response whereby Pakistan will not indulge in such an act again,” Mr Javadekar said. Upping the ante against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, BJP said when the whole nation was outraged over the beheading incident, “even the verbal response from the prime minister came after a week. This is the weakness of the Prime Minister,” the BJP spokesperson said. Mr Javadekar attacked Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi for not speaking out on the LoC issue, saying, “on which sensitive issue have they spoken?” “They have not spoken on terrorism, price rise, terrorism across the border or the situation in Jammu and Kashmir,” he claimed. The BJP leader also charged the government with not talking in one language on the issue and its ministers with taking different positions. “Government is not speaking in one language. Salman Khurshid and Manish Tewari and others are speaking in different tones. The government has to be united in its approach, in its tenor, in its language and in its response,” he said. http://rtilive.pk/detail/9553 Right to Information Pakistan Live, RTI Live, Information Pakistan, RTI online Research ORganization,breaking news pakistan,current news about pakistan,current news from pakistan,current news of pakistan,current news on pakistan,current news pakistan,google news pakistan,hot news of pakistan,karachi pakistan news,latest news about pakistan,latest news from pakistan,latest news in pakistan,latest news of pakistan,latest news on pakistan,latest news pakistan,latest news pakistan urdu,latest pakistan news,live news pakistan,news about pakistan,news from pakistan,news in pakistan,news of pakistan,news on pakistan,news pakistan,news pakistan latest,pakistan current news,pakistan flood news,pakistan floods news,pakistan karachi news,pakistan latest news,pakistan latest news online,pakistan live news,pakistan new news,pakistan news,pakistan news channel,pakistan news lahore,pakistan news latest,pakistan news live,pakistan news online,pakistan news paper,pakistan news papers,pakistan news service,pakistan news today,pakistan news tv,pakistan news urdu,pakistan news english,pakistan news video,pakistan political news,pakistan top news,pakistan urdu news,pakistan english news,pakistan world news,todaynews of pakistan,rti news of pakistan,rtilive news of pakistan,top news of pakistan,urdu news pakistan,english news pakistan,urdu pakistan news,english pakistan news,world news pakistan,www pakistan urdu news,www pakistan english news,www rtilive pk news,yahoo pakistan news,action news,breaking news,business news, current news,daily news,e news,entertainment news,google news,headline news,india news,pakistan news,international news,it news,latest news,live news,lacal news,national news,new news,news,news channel,news channels,news entertainment,news for kids,news for today,news live,news of the day,news of the world,news of today,news of world,news paper,news papers,news today,news video,news weather,online news,recent news,science news,news the,today news,top news,weather news,world news,news yahoo,yahoo news,opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, Prakash Javadekar, BJP president Nitin Gadkari, Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Salman Khurshid, Manish Tewari,
