| Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, BJP general secretary, said along with this campaign, the party would also organise a "Rashtriya Suraksha and Swabhimaan Saptah" on July 6 with senior leaders of the party like leader of the opposition LK Advani, BJP chief M Venakaiah Naidu, MM Joshi, Pramod Mahajan and Arun Jaitley addressing public meetings throughout the country. |
| The issues that these two agitations will focus on are the removal of NDA appointed governors, appointment of tainted ministers and the recent spurt in terrorist activities. |
| Special focus will be paid to the Ishrat Jehan encounter case, where the BJP has taken the view that Ishrat had terrorist links and the "pseudo-secular" parties were making her a hero for their own interests. |
