Chidambaram should resign for terror list error: BJP
May 20th, 2011 - 5:27 pm ICT by IANS
Lucknow, May 20 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Friday said Home Minister P. Chidambaram should resign for India putting out an erroneous terror list of its 50 most wanted hiding in Pakistan.
“It’s not a human error, it’s a criminal error” and the home minister has “no moral right to continue for even a second”, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said at a press conference here.
If the home minister continues, the prime minister should intervene and dismiss him, Naqvi said.
The Indian government was left red-faced after it put out a list of its 50 most wanted hiding in Pakistan, but it contained the name of a man who was actually living in India’s Thane city. It also had the name of another man who was in a Mumbai jail.
