New Delhi, Apr 12: All India Anti-Terrorist Front chief Maninderjit Singh Bitta was in tears today, as he addressed the media and blamed Congress leaders for being "soft" towards terrorists.
Bitta, who as Youth Congress president, was injured in the 1993 blast carried out by Khalistani terrorist Davinderpal Bhullar, said, it was Congress leader Kapil Sibal who appeared in court in favour of Bhullar.
Bitta also alleged that Congress leader Ambika Soni also advised him to "lie low" in the matter of hanging Bhullar and Afzal Guru. Congress leadership must give a reply, said Bitta.
"I don't both about my life, but I want to know who ordered withdrawal of my Z plus security. Is Lalu Prasad's life of more worth that he should be given NSG guards, and my guards were withdrawn? I want the people who ordered withdrawal of my security to be hanged", said Bitta.
Bitta said, he sought appointment to meet Congress president Sonia Gandhi for the last two years, but was refused.
"The Gandhi-Nehru family is a family of patriots. Indiraji, Rajivji laid down their lives, but the Congress leaders are self-serving and they are misguiding Sonia gandhi", said Bitta.
"I will gladly face bullets or bombs from terrorists, but what the Congress leaders are doing, are nothing short of atom bombs", said Bitta.
Bitta praised President Pranab Mukherjee for fastly disposing of mercy petitions of terrorists pending since years.
