National Advisory Council (NAC) headed by Sonia Gandhi hiring as its advisers people who ''openly support'' Maoists: BJP President Gadkari.

Gadkari alleged that “many high-profile advisers of the government were known supporters of Naxalites and Maoists”. Asked whether he was referring to the NAC, he declined to take names. “I don’t want to pinpoint anyone. I don’t want to create a controversy by taking anybody’s name. But tell me, can people who support Naxalites and Maoists become advisers of the government on sensitive matters. Where are we headed?” he said.

“Whether it is the NAC or any other committee, it is the government’s democratic right to consult or seek advice from whoever it deems fit. I don’t have any objection to that. But on the one hand, while the government is fighting this tendency, which is harmful to democracy and society, people who support the same tendency have become members of the committee which advises the government. How can this work?” He said there was nothing wrong with his statement that the Congress was treating Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru like its son-in-law. “What is unparliamentary about the word son-in-law? Sons-in-law are given special treatment and I only asked why Afzal is being given special treatment,” he said.

“There is a saying topi fit baith jaati hai (the cap fits). My comment was also on the mark. Topi fit baith gayi... that is why they (Congress) got angry. They lost their temper.”
