BJP demands Sonia’s mourning
According to The Telegraph, our jolly Bhajpamen are annoyed that Sonia does not “condole” the Pope’s death. That’s apparently “communal”, depriving them of a chance to call her “anti-national”.
Sources said members had suggested the government had taken the ?unprecedented? step in deference to Sonia?s Roman Catholic origin and that she was being ?deliberately communal? by not paying her respects to the departed soul.
?Obviously, she thinks if she condoles the Pope?s death, people may connect it with her Italian background. But this shows that she has not been able to rise above her roots and recognise that the Pope was a statesman, a world leader and not just the head of the Vatican,? said a senior national executive member.
(And she must be secretly munching on cow, no?)
