On Partition Horrors Remembrance Day on Sunday, the BJP had blamed the Congress and the Communists for accepting the demand of the Muslim League for a separate nation.
In an over seven-minute video released by the saffron party on Sunday at 8 am, the BJP indirectly blamed Jawaharlal Nehru and Congress leaders for bowing to the demand of a separate nation raised by the Muslim League led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, instead of opposing it.
The BJP video had alleged that the Congress leaders who should have confronted the Muslim League on the two-nation theory, had accepted partition without consulting the people of the nation. It also blamed the communists, saying their leaders backed the Muslim League.
While narrating the story of Partition, the video frequently showed Nehru and Jinnah. It also features Cyril John Radcliffe, who drew the map to divide India into two nations, asking how those who had no knowledge of Indian culture, heritage, civilisation and values drew borders between people living together for centuries in just three weeks.
"Where were those people at that time who had the responsibility of fighting against these divisive forces," the BJP asked while sharing the video on Twitter.
At the end, the BJP also blamed the Communists for the Partition.
