Uma Bharti broke the law on August 14, 2004, when she defied court orders, banning assembly at the disputed Idgah ground, and led an agitation to the ground.

I do not think anyone, BJP included, contests this claim.

But this…

“It is a serious crime when one violates prohibitory orders. And the entire thing (Uma Bharti hoisting national flag at the Maidan) was only aimed to incite communal disturbances,” party politburo member Sitaram Yechuri said.

… is ridiculous!!

Yechuri is clearly implying that hositing the national flag is a communal act and that it sparked off the riots. Surely, Indian muslims should take offense at such an implication!!

Lets see if they actually do!!
