BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has mooted a ‘Krishna package’ to resolve the Ram Janmabhumi-Babri Masjid issue.
Dr. Swamy told reporters here on Saturday that the package would be acceptable to Hindus and Muslims. As per the package, the Ram temple should be constructed at the birth place of Ram and the Masjid on the other bank of the Sarayu.
Dr. Swamy described it as a ‘Krishna package’ and likened it to Lord Krishna’s suggestion to the Kauravas to part with at least five villages to the Pandavas to avert a war. Stating that as many as 40,000 temples were converted into mosques during the Mughal invasions, Dr Swamy said Hindus should be allowed to rebuild at least three of them — Ram temple in Ayodya, Viswanatha temple in Kasi and Krishna temple in Mathura.
Kejriwal and IITEscalating his attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Dr Swamy asked him to confess that he was admitted into the IIT by some “skulduggery” and not competitive exams.
Citing an RTI reply to claim that the AAP leader had no rank and the mark sheet for his IIT entrance, Dr Swamy suggested that he had joined IIT Kharagpur due to his father’s links as vacancies there were filled “illegally” by its managing board between 1952 and 2005.
Responding to questions about criticism that he was actually targeting Finance Minister Arun Jaitely by raising complaints against the top bureaucrats in the Ministry, Dr. Swamy said he was not in the habit of attacking someone to target another.
“I don’t have that habit.If I attack, I do it directly,” the BJP leader said.
