Buoyed by the success of recent civic polls in Uttar Pradesh and the presence of about a lakh of supporters in a protest rally in the Capital on Wednesday, the BJP challenged the policies <b>of UPA Government amid slogans of Rashtrawad Mein Khot Dikhe, Aatanki Mein Vote Dikhe.</b>
Challenging the Congress-led Government at the Centre, former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee said that this Government should change its pro-terrorist, appeasement policies otherwise the people of India would be compelled to change this Government at the earliest. Â
<b>"The country is not safe in the hands of this weak and confused Government. The people of the country want a change," </b>Vajpayee said addressing the workers at Parliament Street while participating in the 'Rashtriya Suraksha Sankalp March' to gherao the Parliament on the first day of the Winter Session.
Clearly charged by the large presence of BJP supporters amid scores of protests and demonstrations at Jantar Mantar including that of Samajwadi Party, Vajpayee said that BJP's rally (on Wednesday) will introduce a new chapter in Indian politics.
"By organising the people of the country under a single umbrella and by making drastic changes in the present intolerable situation, BJP will provide relief to the nation from the pain and sorrow inflicted continuously by the UPA Government," he added, sitting in the midst of stalwarts like former Deputy Prime Minister LK Advani, party president Rajnath Singh, Jaswant Singh, Murli Manohar Joshi, Sushma Swaraj and Delhi BJP president Harshvardhan.
<b>In an apparent reference to the resumption of dialogue with Pakistan, Vajpayee maintained that talks at this juncture were futile. "They (terrorists) are challenging us, but the Government is finding ways to talk. We are not against talks, but what is its use? The Government is not sure about its own moves," the former Prime Minister said also referring to the recent Mumbai blasts in his speech.</b>
Workers from many States including Delhi besides 166 MPs and peoples' representatives marched towards Parliament passing through all the entry points of Delhi, Rajghat and from Birla Mandir to Jantar Mantar to court arrest. Given their large numbers, the BJP protestors were declared arrested on Parliament Street itself.
<b>A senior Delhi Police official declared from the dais that there was no room to keep such a large number of arrested workers and MPs in the jails hence all are freed from this point, marking an end to the massive rally with the crowd busting into laughter.</b>
<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Earlier, Advani claimed that Delhi had never seen such a massive demonstration, a clear indication of the frustration among the people of the country with the present Government. </span>
"The attack on Parliament by the five Pakistani terrorists was a war against India. Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi are mum on the issue of hanging Afzal Guru. This is fraud on the country," he said at the backdrop of placards like<b> 'Vande Mataram Se Sharmate - Atanki Ko Gale Lagate', 'Congress Afzal Ki Gale Milayee - Atanki-Congress Bhai-Bhai', 'Congress Ka Bandobast - Atanki Ghuspathi Mast'.</b>
Addressing the gathering, BJP president Rajnath Singh, who led the march from Birla Mandir, voiced disappointment over the delay in Afzal's execution as ordered by the Supreme Court. "We have seen increasing terrorist strikes in various parts of the country. But the Government is doing nothing. This Government is weakening the country," he said. Jaswant Singh, Sushma Swaraj, Vijay Kumar Malhotra, Murli Manohar Joshi, Vijay Goel and Harshvardhan also addressed the rally. Later a resolution condemning the Government's "silence" on Afzal's hanging was also passed
