LS-ADDRESS 4

Sher Singh Ghubaya of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) wanted
Sikhs, who had left the country in the aftermath of Operation
Bluestar, to be allowed to return to their motherland.

He wanted Scheduled Caste status for the backward classes
in Sikh community in northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh
and other states.
Yogi Adityanath of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) contended
that the country was in the grip of terror and the government
had no clear policies to tackle the menace.
He criticised the government's move to hold talks with
Pakistan, which were suspended in the aftermath of the terror
attack on Mumbai on November 26, 2008.
Adityanath said naxals were able to spread their influence
in over 200 districts of the country because of the "mistake"
the government had committed in 2004 by offering to hold peace
talks with them.
"The mistake of 2004 should not be repeated. The talks
offer of 2004 was utilised by the naxals to spread their
network from 54 districts in 2004 to over 200 now," he said.
Adityanath also accused the government of being
hand-in-glove with hoarders as it was unable to control the
prices of essential commodities. (MORE) PTI SKU
