BJP blocks its website access in Pak, its PM candidate's is on

BJP blocks its website access in Pak, its PM candidate's is on


 People in Pakistan cannot access
the BJP website as the saffron party has blocked its Internet
page though its high-profile Prime Ministerial candidate
Narendra Modi's portal can be accessed for those who want to
know about him.
          "Error 1009 The owner of this website (bjp.org) has
banned your IP address (---) on the country or region you are
accessing it from," says the page as one logs in from here.
          People logging in from Pakistan have to use Virtual
Private Network, masking Pakistani IP address to log into the
BJP website.
            The party had attached on its Twitter handle links to a
'charge sheet' it had recently released against the UPA
government but the links did not work for those logging in
from Pakistan.
            Some questioned the logic of blocking the access saying
even if someone fears hacking, hackers don't use their own IP
addresses.
            Be it the government or local Pakistanis, everyone is
eager to know about the general sentiments and trends as to
who will form the next government.
            However, asked about Modi, top Pakistan government
officials say they are willing to "deal" with whoever forms
the government after the Lok Sabha elections and that includes
Modi.
            Even though the 2002 Gujarat riots loom large here,
Pakistan is hopeful that the peace bogey would not be derailed
if the UPA government is replaced by Modi-led NDA.
            Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who has stressed on
the need for better ties with all its neighbours, had said his
country believes in good relations with India "regardless of
whosoever is in power".
            Asked what will be Pakistan's strategy if Modi comes to
power, Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said, "I
understand India is undergoing elections, a normal election in
democracy and we also have seen reports follow that BJP seems
to be in a strong position."
            She said the elections are an internal affair of India
and it is for Indian people to decide, to exercise their
right, to choose and elect a government.
            "We deal with countries... So, we hope that whoever is
elected in India would have that conviction and consciousness
that peace is something that we owe to our people," she told
PTI recently in an interview.
            Tasnim added that Pakistan strongly believes that "our
region needs peace for economic development, for better life
for our people. They deserve it"
