Slamming its adversaries for trying to create a divide on lines of secularism and communalism in the country, the BJP on Monday charged the Congress and its allies with suffering from "secularitis" disease.
"You know there is a disease called encephalitis which is very bad, similarly there is another disease called secularitis from which the Congress and its allies are suffering in the manner they have been trying to create a divide on the lines of secularism and communalism in the country," the BJP national president Rajnath Singh told reporters.
"Our country must be saved from this disease (secularitis)," he said and urged all political parties to oppose it.
Noting that the Congress has been in the habit of practising political divide on communalism vs secularism every time when the elections are round the corner, the BJP national president urged the mainstream political parties to guard against falling into the traps of the Congress.
"We have further noted that the Congress attack the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi at the time of elections and harps on 2002 riots as part of a deliberate strategy and conspiracy to malign Modi and BJP," Singh said and asked the Congress to refrain from pursuing such tactics for vote bank politics.
The Congress has been seen as consolidating the secular forces to prevent rise of communal forces, the senior BJP leader observed and described as a calculated political strategy of the Congress to divert public attention from failures of the UPA government on all fronts.
