BJP leaders are still dazed after their government fell byone vote. Why did it fall? George Fernandes said that a foreign hand had worked againstthe government. Only one issue enabled the BJP 's opponents to unite: the atrocitiescommitted against minorities.

Senior BJP vice- president K. R. Malkani wrote a letter toall the national dailies. He questioned Jyoti Basu's criticism of the Sangh parivarfor demolishing the Babri Masjid. Malkani asked Basu: "Why (are you) so sure who didthe demolishing? (Were not these) the doings of a mysterious foreign agency?"

Ah! So even behind the atrocities against minorities therewas a foreign hand at work. But how does the foreign hand operate? It is not visible.Therefore it must work either through willing agents or through ignorant dupes. Can anyoneshed light on who these agents or dupes might be?

According to the CBI , Quattrochi paid hawala money to AmirBhai who paid it to Moolchand Shah who paid it to S. K. Jain who paid it to L. K. Advaniand 41 other political leaders. The same Moolchand Shah paid part of that money toKashmiri separatists. According to the police, Moolchand Shah funded those who demolishedthe Babri Masjid as well as those who organised the retaliatory bomb blast in Mumbai.

So, can Advani shed light on the foreign hand? Former BJPMP and VHP activist Brij Bhushan Saran Singh admitted in a TADA court that he was close tothe henchmen of Dawood Ibrahim, accused in the Mumbai bomb blast case. Singh led thebiggest contingent among those who demolished the Babri Masjid. Yet Ashok Singhal, boss ofthe anti- Muslim VHP , took no action against him.

Can Ashok Singhal shed light on the foreign hand?

Brij Bhushan could not contest elections due to the TADAcase against him. Yet former BJP president Murli Manohar Joshi took no action against him.Instead, Brij Bhushan's wife was made the candidate in his place.

Can Joshi shed light on the foreign hand?

Recently, after the BJP government fell, the partydesperately needed allies. Precisely at that time a BJP MLC in Karnataka, Madhusudan, putup anti- Christian hoardings all over Mysore.

Can Madhusudan shed light on the foreign hand?

Finally, after glossing over the Babri Masjid demolitionfor seven years, Malkani has now discovered a foreign hand. Can Malkani shed light on theforeign hand? To weaken the land, Shake the foreign hand,

To weaken the hand,
Shake the foreign hand,
To subvert a task,
Put on a mask!
