He said the one-sided effort which the UPA government made for friendship despite not getting expected help from Pakistan projected the image of India as a ‘soft State'.
“As long as the government does not take a tough stand against terrorism, the terrorists with their emboldened spirit would keep targeting cities, trains, buses and other important institutions,” Singh said.
The BJP also hit out at Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde for his ‘Hindu terror' remarks, saying they were made under a ‘pre-planned conspiracy'.
“The remarks were made not by mistake but under a well-planned conspiracy,” Singh said and accused the Congress of indulging in vote bank politics for the last over six decades.
Shinde had later expressed regret over his remarks linking BJP and RSS to terrorism, which he had made during an AICC meet in Jaipur in January, after strong objections from these organisations.
The opposition party also hit out at the ruling dispensation over corruption in the wake of the VVIP helicopter scam and price rise.
