I don't know if quint has a hidden agenda here but somehow a part of the poetry has been edited. For all the Atal Bihari Vajpayee lovers I would mention the whole poetry here. ‘पन्द्रह अगस्त का दिन कहता, आजादी अभी अधूरी है। सपने सच होने बाकी हैं, रावी की शपथ न पूरी है॥ जिनकी लाशों पर पग धर कर, आजादी भारत में आई। वे अब तक हैं खानाबदोश, गम की काली बदली छाई॥ कलकत्ते के फुटपाथों पर, जो आंधी-पानी सहते हैं। उनसे पूछो, पंद्रह अगस्त के बारे में क्या कहते हैं॥ हिन्दू के नाते उनका दुख सुनते, यदि तुम्हें लाज आती। तो सीमा के उस पार चलो, सभ्यता जहां कुचली जाती॥ इंसान जहां बेचा जाता, ईमान खरीदा जाता है। इस्लाम सिसकिया भरता है, डॉलर मन में मुस्काता है॥ भूखों को गोली नंगों को हथियार पिन्हाए जाते हैं। सूखे कण्ठों से जेहादी नारे लगवाए जाते हैं॥ लाहौर, कराची, ढाका पर मातम की है काली छाया। पख़्तूनों पर, गिलगित पर है गमगीन गुलामी का साया॥ बस इसीलिए तो कहता हूं आजादी अभी अधूरी है। कैसे उल्लास मनाऊं मैं? थोड़े दिन की मजबूरी है॥ दिन दूर नहीं खंडित भारत को पुनः अखंड बनाएंगे। गिलगित से गारो पर्वत तक आजादी पर्व मनाएंगे॥ उस स्वर्ण दिवस के लिए आज से कमर कसें बलिदान करें। जो पाया उसमें खो न जाएं, जो खोया उसका ध्यान करें॥

@@jagathmundhara9061 There were many articles written in his prime ministering that he desisted from statements like mandir wahin banayenge. He did not even say that as election call, he insisted that it should be based on agreement. On many other issues, his stance was opposed to rss calls, that's why we had a deputy pm from same party in a coalition of many parties. Because RSS didn't like Atalji. Vote humne hi Kiya but kya yoga jb BJP make log campaigning hi na Karen . Rss was scared atalji may gain complete majority and finally free himself. Much like talks on modiji too this time. They hoped for weak coalition. But in a surprise congress led by some seats. Onion prices to hoti rehti gain. Even modiji wasn't supportive of atalji only when he remained just as a symbol of bjp being mute and paralyzed that they deified him like God.

Why? I'm a die-hard quint fan. Why would I die watching this. Even dhruv rathee, someone who is totally anti bjp, praises atal bihari vajpayee Ji and calls him as India's best prime Minister ever. Just because some people of a party are bad, that does not mean everyone is bad. In every political party, there are some good people and there are also some bad people. Being a leftist means that you have brains of your own and that you can think independently. It does not mean that you hate a party without reason. It means that you see the good and bad within a party and then decide whether you want to support that party or not.

[@amitsingh-lp4yn]

[@ankurawasthi4221]

Why is he considered a terrorist? Just because ek 2002 me hindu muslim dange hue the gujarat me jab vo cm tha . If he is a terrorist then the people who created india and pakistan are also terrorists right from jinnah to nehru ji. They both had their political agendas and so many innocents lost their life (a number much larger than gujarat godhra riots). In fact modi was the only chief minister who called paramilitary and paramilitary forces killed many hindus, so according to this he should not be liked by every common hindu. But no politics has a history of thriving in this country by creating divisions in the society. Congress party had a weak hold in gujarat labelled him as responsible for those riots. There are many chief ministers under whose rule hindu muslim riots happened in UP and other states also but nobody labels them as terrorists. Eg Akhilesh Yadav People create bias on the basis of what they are shown. Agar vo sach me itna he bada terrorist tha to Congress 10 saal me rehkar prove kyon ni kar paayi aur kyon uske baad se dange nhi hue hindu muslims k vahan pe. Please bring facts to the table before arguing.
