Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha today demanded a statement by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Parliament on the allegations of corruption surrounding the Commonwealth Games and the Centre's handling of the situation in Kashmir."The Prime Minister has not said a word in Parliament on burning issues like Commonwealth Games, price rise, Bhopal gas tragedy and atrocities on schedule tribes," Sinha told a press conference here. "On Kashmir, the PM has spoken at an all-party meeting, but not in the House," he added. Describing as a "shame" Kashmiri separatists recently raising anti-national slogans at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, he said, "the situation has been allowed to go out of hand."
"We expect they (government) will strongly fight the separatists backed and inspired by Pakistan which is trying to create chaos in Kashmir," the former external affairs minister said. He also said the BJP had never been a proponent of hike in the salaries of the MPs.
