All these blah blah , nearly after two decades, is just to seek popularity. Everybody, repeat everybody, knows why that bill has been brought by Rajiv Gandhi. It is just to appease Muslims clergy and get Muslim votes. Nothing else. Congress is famous for minor ity and especially Muslim appeasement.
