The BJP reacts to the Supreme Court verdict on the crackdown on Baba Ramdev, holding both him and the Delhi police guilty for the incident.

 

The BJP today held Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and union ministers P Chidambaram and Kapil Sibal "accountable" for the incident. 

"Such an attack on peaceful supporters of Ramdev would not have been possible without political clearance at a very high level. The policemen have suffered, but what about political accountability?" BJP chief spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad asked. 

He said the BJP holds "not only" Home Minister Chidambaram and HRD Minister Sibal "accountable and responsible" for the incident but also Gandhi and the Prime Minister "accountable" for it. "(That is)...because her party and the government have sustained a campaign against Ramdev, Anna Hazare and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar," he alleged.
