Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, Julfikar Ali Bhutto are real patriots. They died for their country. They didn't negotiate with the Taliban to free a M16 agent. They knew death was coming but still mingled with the people and worked courageously for the people till their last breath.
Vajpayee and Musharraf are crooks of the Western world. They cooperated to mastermind the Dec 13, 2003 Parliament attack. At least Vajpayee as a PM should have released the CCTV tapes to the prosecutors rather than adjourning the Parliament when the questions about CCTV recordings were asked.
On December 19 2001, six days after the parliament attack, police commissioner SM Shangari identified one of the attackers who was killed as Mohammad Yasin Fateh Mohammed (alias Abu Hamza) of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, who had been arrested in Mumbai in November 2000 and immediately handed over to the Jammu and Kashmir police. He gave detailed descriptions to support his statement. If police commissioner Shangari was right, how did Yasin, a man in the custody of the Jammu and Kashmir police, end up participating in the parliament attack? If he was wrong, where is Yasin now?
We must first answer these questions and look into the responsibility of Vajpayee as the then PM for the attack. Then think of even considering a person with such a shady background for the highest honour of our nation.
