The oppressive and anti-people policies of the Congress-led state government were solely responsible for the rise of terrorism in the state.

Shri LK Advani, the then National BJP President, visited his house on 15 Feb. 93 and pronounced that he was the true Shaheed, and gave him the title “SHAHEED” as he died for the cause of his motherland who gave up his life, but not the cause.
