New Delhi : BJP said it was wrong to use the term “Hindu terrorists” for the alleged extremists arrested on charges of the Malegaon blasts and charged “some section” of trying to malign the majority community.
“Some section are trying to malign the majority community. BJP is objecting to the term Hindu terrorists, which is wrong. Nobody is saying that the law must not take its course. No one can say that. A terrorist is a terrorist irrespective of his caste or religion,” party leader Yashwant Sinha said in a press conference here on Friday.
“Investigations should happen but the whole majority community is being assailed. We object to the ultra secularists. We object to what Brinda Karat(CPI-M) said in the House on Thursday that it was Hindu terrorism,” he added.
“Vaiko has been arrested because he made a speech in support of LTTE, why haven’t those people been arrested who are speaking in favour of the SIMI,” Sinha questioned.
“This is the level that vote bank politics has reached, by condemning the majority, one seeks to gain the minority vote,” he said.
“It is for government of India to consider a decision in the matter of banning an organisation. If we support the decision we will stand with it,” said Sinha when asked if his party would support banning Hindu outfits which have alleged linkages with the arrested men and women.
One is trying to give a bad name to the majority community just because one or one and a half act. No one has the right to use the word Hindu terrorists, he added.
