Irked by railway minister Laloo Prasad's barrage of allegations against its leaders, that BJP on Tuesday came down heavily on the RJD chief describing him as "a joker of Congress circus" and terming his accusations as baseless and imaginary". BJP VP and spokesman Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said at a press conference that Laloo has resorted to " condemnable" charges against senior BJP leader LK Advani and others only to "cover up for his sins committed in Bihar during 15 years" of RJD rule.
He strongly denied Laloo's allegations that Advani was involved in the demolition of the disputed structure in Ayodhya. Laloo had leveled the charge on Sunday quoting Time magazine and Naqvi circulated copies of the news item to claim that there was no such mention in the report.
He also dismissed claims that Advani had been accused of any conspiracy to assassinate Mohammed Ali Jinnah and that Pakistan had declared him "absconder".
Naqvi circulated a news report of
March 6, '02, quoting then Pakistani high commissioner to India,
Jehangir Ashraf Qazi, in which he had denied any such case.
