Janata Party President ,Dr Subramanian Swamy has raised the issue of NAC members asking for clemency for Kasab ,the Pakistani terrorist ,who was hanged later.
The text of the letter is reproduced below:
Dr. Manmohan Singh, January 28, 2013.
Prime Minister of India,
South Block,
New Delhi.
Dear Prime Minister,
With this letter I enclose a news clipping from today’s
Pioneer newspaper. From it, you can see two who are/or have been members of the
National Advisory Council, had written to the Rashtrapatiji seeking clemency
for the killer terrorist in the Mumbai 26/11 horror viz., Kasab, who had been
sentenced to death by the Supreme Court as not only rarest of rare but also
necessary for the “collective conscience” of the nation.
Since the NAC is a Government body set up by the
Cabinet Secretariat, and paid for from tax payers’ funds, it is imperative for
you to take appropriate action for this anti-national support to a brazen
terrorist from Pakistan who killed so many innocent Indians and tried to
terrorize the nation.
Since, that clemency plea was written with heir
designation as NAC member, hence, the Chairperson of the NAC is equally
culpable, judging by your Government’s standard of holding RSS as an
organization responsible for even ex-RSS workers, let alone office bearers.
I demand therefore that you either remove Ms Sonia
Gandhi from the Chairperson position or wind up the NAC. Ms Sonia Gandhi of
course has long term links with organizations which have been called terrorists
or terrorist- friendly. The late Rajiv Gandhi once told me that she financed
those Palestinian families which had lost a member who had been recruited as a
suicide bomber. He in fact asked me to meet PLO Chief Yassir Arafat to check if
the money she was sending was in fact reaching the families. Hence, I made a
trip to Tunis where Arafat was hiding those days, and met him on October 10,
1990. Arafat confirmed that the money was reaching the Habash group of the PLO
I had written about this in my book Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi (published by
Konark in 2000).
Ms Gandhi also keeps the company of a Pakistani lady
called Farida Ataullah, on whom the IB did a background check in connection
with Mrs. Indira Gandhi’s assassination, according to a recent book of a
journalist Tavleen Singh.
It is well known also that Ms. Sonia Gandhi financed
the education in UK of daughter of Ms. Nalini who was awarded the death penalty
by the TADA Court and which was upheld by the Supreme Court.
Hence, it is imperative that unless cleared of these
charges, Ms Sonia Gandhi is unfit to occupy any position in any Government
body. Therefore, lyou are duty bound to have her sacked from the NAC.
Yours sincerely,
( SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY)
