Linking cross-border terrorism with vote bank politics, BJP national president Nitin Gadkari has alleged that the country's security is not safe with the Congress in power. Addressing a rally in the state capital that was attended by BJP workers, Gadkari criticised the Congress calling itself as a secular party.

He said "We are against vote bank politics. In Assam, the government has welcomed migrants from Bangladesh and is encouraging them to register themselves as voters. The government is weak in its effort to stop cross-border infiltration. And Afzal Guru is yet to be hanged. The government is scared; if they hang him, their own vote bank will be shaken". In a country where there are so many religions form as Indians, but however, a criminal is a criminal, a terrorist is a terrorist. And should be punishsed at any cost.

So, what do you think people, Is Vote bank politics protecting terrorists in India?? Or there are any other reasons people?

Terrorism is largely an ‘invisible’ enemy; politicians creates a vote bank on the name of religion.They are actually hiring lawyers to represent & protect the terrorists.

Vote bank politics certainly exists but certainly not at the cost of protecting terrorists. What Gadkari said can be termed as a pure political gimmick, since one wonders how possibly could terrorists find favour from any political party? Not terrorists but small & big time criminals for sure. And when have we (read BJP, Gadkari and likes) started treating CRIMINALS (both big and small) as TERRORISTS. Criminals surely find favours from all political parties and they are the ones responsible for creating vote banks, and it happens vice versa. Damaging sure it is, rather more than what terrorists could be doing. Now ahy is BJP saying it blaming congress? Not that I'm a congressman by any chance, I just would expect all BJPians to look within and answer your question. Are you a BJP supporter by any chance Yash???

Votebank politics is the biggest tool of congress. This is further extension of Divide n Rule policy of Britons. Afterall congress is the creation of a Briton, A.O.Hume. UNO gave ruling in 1947 after cease fire in Kashmir that first of all Pakistan will pullout forces, then India and then there will b plebisite. Pakistan never initiated this. Who remembers and who cares for this. Pakistan gifted a part of Kashmir to China. Frankly speaking Kashmir is a trileteral issue, but our government is dealing with it as a bileteral issue. 1100 temples were demolished after Babri. Who knows n who cares

Yes, certainly. Vote Bank politics, if not pampering terrorism, it is atleast indirectly protecting terrorism. India being a secular country, should definitely respect all religions and faiths. But, the politicians should understand that the Nation is above all. When the National Interests are at stake, or the Nation is threatened in any way, whoever they might be, the culprits should be punished. When our temple of democracy, the Parliament was attacked, the culprit Gilani is still alive. For what reason, is not understood by the common man. If there is a small theft and the thief is caught, he is beaten mercilessly by the police, locked up inside the jail and even severe punishments are awarded. But, when our entire Nation was threatened and the culprit is caught, we are still waiting and waiting with patience. This can not be called patience; it is our weakness. This sort of in-action by the Govt. is neither good for the sovereignity of the country nor can be tolerated by the people. Vote bank politics is just like cutting the branch of the tree where one is sitting. Particularly, the politicians should develop a feeling for the Nation and practice the religion of Man-kind.

Namaskar to everyone,

In my opinion, our oldest political party congress, from our indepenence support the terrorist activities by not calling india, a hindu nation. Reason behind it is very simple one " Muslim Vote Bank". only due to this vote bank congress always wins and ruled us in past for so many terms without fail. This decision is not made for the sake of our country or people of any religion, it is purely to fulfill their intentions to rule.   

Congress Party call itself secular. But from their do's and dont's, I think  "Secular" means for the progress and safety of minors at every cost even national intergrity. I believe that congress is responsible to make our politics community / cast / religion based. In every region of india, Terrorism is only religion /cast /community based. for example in J & K, terrorism against hindu pandits.

Refugees from Pakistan and Bangladesh welcomed by congress party and  even awarded them with indian citizenship and right to vote. It is only to get  minors i.e. muslim votes and win elections.

Everytime  terrorists attacked our country and ran away. If by chance army/police caught them, then long legal procedure to prove them guilty started and never resulted in severe punishment. This is what secular means in congress dictionary. A terrorist can kill thousands and lacs of people without any reason but we can't kill even a single one with justified reasons. For example "Gilani" master mind of parliament attack and "kasab" terrorist of mumbai 26/11 attack. In kashmir, Our National Flag burnt by muslims, no action was taken. why??????

Mufti Mohd. Saeed and his daughter always made statements which are more friendly to pakistan. No action taken. Why???? Even they are supporting or got support  for the goverment.

only due to congress inefficieny to give good government, new communal state parties came into existence resulting into more diversified terrorism.

If Congress men are well wisher of minors then why not donate some of their assets and properties for the good of minors. Nothing serious matter, they will only making fool of indians. Congress always calling it secular party but in reality it is the party which remind the people of their religion everytime. Because in daily life you never asks a person, which religion he belongs.

I too believe that we can be a safer nation if political support for both terrorists and criminals cease. Now that is an utopian requirement, because as a nation our ethics and morals make many politicians - and their cahoots - seek and obtain benefits from our democracy.

In general terms, why is it that in more matured democaracies the extent of criminalization less? I think the concept of honour is to do with a mindset that we haven't reached - maybe because of lack of development....

so y is congress not hanging gilani???they r not supporting terrorism.they r making it easier for terrorists to attack frequently in a confidence that even if any one gets caught, they wont b punished in any case??? bjp is not the only communal party, congress is the biggest in that term. because look at religious conversions going on in country? a terrorist who attacked parliament is spared of punishment simply because he is a muslim? see poorness is everywhere in every religion. not just muslim n christians. so many poor hindus are not getting the same facilities as these muslims and christians are getting! if ur congress is secular this should not be the case. first know what congress is doing then talk about bjp. who is sonia? what she did to india? nothing. congress as a secular party is a huge media hype!just know deeper facts and talk.

Vote bank politics add different flavor to the topic of terrorism. Terrorism is not related to any community or society, but with vote bank politician made it as an attack to the community. It not only add chaos, also it prevent police or force to put strong step against terrorists. Vote bank politics is the biggest stone in the way to fight against terrorism.

Yes. Very much.

It may take ages to come to a decision to Hang Kassab because of Vote Bank Politics.

If for any reason at all, suppose he is released (Dread to think about it but this is hypothetical), then firstly Mulayam (would approach him) or Laloo or any one of the regional players may take him into their party and post him as a election candidate after naturalizing him as an Indian Citizen.

Dont be shocked or surprised, this is very much possible.

I think vote bank politics played by politicians is the main reason for high terrorist activity in India. Due to various reasons several political parties are playing these vote bank politics game and are inturn helping terrorism grow in India, people talk about secularism all the time, but they in the first place don't follow it and ask others to do it, its never going to happen, first lead from the front, play the fair game and then others will follow, but somehow this is not happening at all and I think BJP head is right in saying that vote bank politics is protecting terrorists.  Just to please one community or religion they are forgetting the whole picture of a secular country where everybody can live happily.

There are lot of reasons for terrorism including the (1)use of terror tactics by a neighboring so that our military and police are tied down and lose their numerical advantage (2) illiteracy and poverty which allow people to be brainwashed and bribed. The statement by the BJP that vote bank politics is behind terrorism shows that they want to get political mileage from the problem rather than do anything constructive. Let's remember the violent incidents in Kashmir valley and Kandahar and other incidents that happened during BJP rule before we get trapped in their statement.
