Allahabad: Accusing the UPA of pursuing 'politics of appeasement', BJP President Rajnath Singh today (Apr 20, 2006) held the ruling coalition responsible for disturbing the demographic balance of the country and worsening the security situation.

The demographic balance of the country was getting disturbed with an alarming increase in the population of the minorities and "If this insidious trend continues, Hindus would be reduced to a minority by 2050", he told reporters after his 'Bharat Suraksha Yatra' reached here this morning.

"People should teach a lesson to the parties responsible for bringing such a situation," he said.

Expressing concern over the security situation of the nation, the BJP President claimed that there was an overwhelming feeling among people about the country's internal and external security, which is being threatened by Maoist insurgency and activities of the ISI.

Singh claimed that the ISI was establishing its network in Bangladesh.

"Unfortunately, Bangladesh is unwilling to acknowledge that its soil is being used for harbouring anti-India elements. The (UPA) government ought to mobilise world opinion and put diplomatic pressure on Dhaka for cracking down on ISI camps operating in that country. Besides, fencing of the Indo-Bangla border must be taken up on war footing", he said.

Singh alleged that the Naxal menace was spreading acrossthe country and the government was refraining from adopting a pro-active approach as it was under pressure from the Left whose support is vital for its UPA's survival.
