New Delhi: Waving an alleged leaked document of the Cong-ress, the BJP on Wednesd-ay accused the Opposition party of conspiring to disrupt Parliament during the Monsoon Session by giving issues a “communal colour”.

Terming the document as a “dossier of disruption”, the BJP alleged that rather than focusing on more relevant issue of national security, the Congress has given priority on raising incidents of mob lynching and cow vigilantism, by giving them communal colour.

The leaked Congress’ strategy for the Monsoon Session, titled “Key issues to raise in Parliament”, was being reported by some news channels.

“In this leaked document, they have mentioned about Junaid and Akhlaq but why there is no mention of lynching of police officer Ayub Pandith in Srinagar,” BJP’s Sambit Patra alleged.

He said intelligence reports have clarified that Junaid died due to a fight over seat in the train and not over beef as claimed.

“Not once or twice but thrice, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has criticised the incidents of cow vigilantism and asked for stringent action against such people,” he added.

The BJP spokesperson said that according to this leaked plan of the Congress, the issue of national security was not the priority. In an apparent reference to Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar’s meeting with Hurriyat leaders in Kashmir, Mr Patra said it is expected as their leaders prefer to have laugh with extremists.

 He added that on one side Mr Modi was “sweating out” for the development of the country but the Congress is keen to stall the nation’s progress.
