Congress, Left helped bring Maudhany's acquittal: Naqvi

New Delhi, Aug 2 (UNI) Accusing the Congress and the Left parties of facilitating the acquittal of Coimbatore blasts accused Abdul Nasser Maudhany, BJP Vice President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said the pseudo secular character of the two parties stood exposed and warned them against following pro-terrorist policies for votes.

Describing Maudhany as India's Osama bin Laden, he urged the Congress and the Left to take a lesson from the condition in neighbouring Pakistan where President Pervez Musharraf was facing a threat from militants as a result of adopting pro-terror policies.

In a statement, Mr Naqvi said the two parties were displaying ''height of so called secularism'' by celebrating Maudhany release. ''Their so called secularist charactor stands exposed today,'' he said.

During the Kerala polls, he posters of both the Congress and the Left featured Maudhany which showed the extent the parties could stoop for the sake of votes, he added.

The Kerala Assembly resolution for Maudhany's release and the fact that leaders of both the parties met Madani in jail, proved that the UPA Government and the state governments of its allies were compromising on terorism.

He said abrogation of POTA and the delay in the execution Mohommad Afzal, convicted in the December 13 Parliament attack case, would only encourage anti-national and separatist forces.
