	BJP Leader Assures Fresh Probe into Abhaya Case The Times of India April 18, 2009 http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Mangalore/BJP-leader-assures-fresh-probe-into-Abhaya-case/articleshow/4418711.cms MANGALORE: Assuring a thorough investigation into sister Abhaya rape and murder case in Kerala if BJP comes to power at the Centre, BJP district minority cell president Franklin Monteiro asked why were the Congress and Left parties silent on the case when they have shown extraordinary enthusiasm in condemning the attack on churches in the district. Speaking to reporters here on Saturday, he said if BJP comes to power, Abhaya case would be investigated thoroughly and the culprits would be apprehended. He said both BJP and Sangh Parivar leaders have condemned the attack on churches but Congress and left parties have not yet uttered a single word in Abhaya case and the investigation did not reach a logical end even after 16 years. He pointed out and said this shows the pseudo secular and vote bank politics of these parties. The Congress that was making big hue and cry over the attack on churches should remind that highest number of attacks on minorities in the state was happened when Congress was in power, he said. He said BJP had no double standard over the issues of national concern. When there was the massacre in Marad in Kerala and Nandigram in West Bengal BJP had condemned both the incidents strongly. Where as the Left parties maintained silence over Nandigram issue and DYFI goons were engaged in atrocities against the people including the minorities. It is high time that the members of minority community realize the political gimmicks by Congress and Left parties and support BJP during this general elections, he said.
