There is a clear rift seen internally in BJP these days on Yakub Memon's Execution.
On Thursday,
Finance Minister Arun Jetly Criticized Patna City BJP saying Veteran Leader
Shatrughan Sinha had "embarrassed" the party by signing a petition to
the President against the execution of Yakub Memon and said it was "extremely
sad" that the actor-turned-politician had gone against the party line.
"Of course, it does," Mr Jaitley said when questioned whether the signing of the petition by Mr Sinha had embarrassed the party. He added that the question may be posed to the person who had signed the plea.

"That
is not the party’s line. I think it is extremely sad that any member of BJP
would sign such a petition," he told Times Now.
Mr Jaitley said that BJP's ideology was completely against any leniency being shown to those who took part in killings in Mumbai in 1993 or in the 26/11 attacks.
Mr Sinha was among a group of eminent jurists, MPs and leaders of political parties who had submitted a petition to President Pranab Mukherjee on Sunday requesting him to consider the plea for mercy to Memon.
Yakub Memon was hanged in Nagpur Prison a little before 7 am on Thursday morning, less than two hours after the Supreme Court dismissed his final appeal against his hanging in a never seen before hearing that was held within the court premises in the middle of the night.
Meanwhile, talking about the continuous disruption in parliament, Mr Jaitley expressed hope that a breakthrough would come through as Indian democracy was mature enough.
He, however, hit out at Congress MPs for continuing to disrupt Parliament. "I think Congress MPs have become captive to the ill-advice of their leader," he said without taking any names.
He also attacked Congress for giving a dissent note against the GST Bill and said the Opposition party stands isolated.
"Disruptions cannot continue indefinitely. They are lowering the faith in the parliamentary system," Mr Jaitley said, adding that the "disruptionist (sic) attitude is the only one it (Congress) knows".
