New Delhi: Charging the BJP and its leader L K Advani with playing a 'dangerous game' by attempting to seek political mileage out of this month's Doda killings, Government today(May 15, 2006) made it clear that it will never succumb to terrorist designs in Jammu and Kashmir and asked him against stirring the campaign of religious cleansing.

"The UPA (leaders) will till the last drop of their blood defend the integrity of the country and Jammu and Kashmir whatever may come," Parliamentary Affairs Minister P R Dasmunsi said in a hard-hitting intervention during a debatein Lok Sabha on an adjournment motion moved by Advani on the May one Dada and Udhampur killings.

The motion, which was strongly opposed by the Government, charged the ruling UPA with failure to make security arrangements to protect lives of citizens in border areas in J and K.

Seeking adjournment of the House, Advani said the Doda and Udhampur massacres were part of an 'operation cleansing' launched by the terrorists as part of Pakistan's designs to create religious division in the state.

"These killings (should be seen) in a different light from other incidents and were part of a sinister design to throw out minorities from the Jammu region and carry out a religious cleansing operation, the first of which had beendone in 1989 in the valley when Kashmiri Pandits were thrown out," the Leader of the Opposition said initiating the discussion.

Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi were present in the House.
