‘Hindu terrorism’: BJP rakes up Rahul’s 2010 remarks to up the ante

Terrorism had no religion and colour and BJP never uses the term “Muslim terror” but “jihadi terror“, Prasad said, asking Congress President Sonia Gandhi to clarify on the her son’s comments. As the protests intensified, he hit back, “In this House in 2013, the then Home Minister (P Chidambaram) had coined the new terminology “Hindu terrorism” in order to change the direction of probe”.

India regularly accuses Pakistan’s army of providing covering fire for rebels who infiltrate across the border and then mount attacks in Indian Kashmir. The fight against terrorism is the biggest challenge. He censured the opposition party for making Parliament seem like a divided house on the serious issue of terrorism, the NDTV reported.

The house was adjourned till Friday after an uproar by opposition members over the statement.

Addressing a press convention on the BJP headquarters right here, Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman stated senior UPA ministers had coined the time period although they maintained that it was by no means utilized in Parliament.

The Congress has insisted that the issue of action against three top BJP leaders should be on the agenda if the deadlock in Parliament is to be broken.

He recited a Hindi poem to target the foreign policy of previous Congress governments’, saying “China snatched India’s rose, Tashkant saw death of Lal Bahadur Shastri and India lost at diplomatic table after winning the war due to its compromises”.

“A preliminary analysis of the Global Positioning System (GPS) data indicates that the terrorists infiltrated from Pakistan through the area near Tash in Gurdaspur district, where the Ravi river enters Pakistan“, Rajnath Singh said. The Congress charged Rajnath Singh with dividing Parliament by making a political speech on terror, against which “the entire country is one”.

She said the demand that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should intervene in the debate has little meaning as he has done so on a total of five occasions in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. “I also assure the house that the government will do everything possible to prevent cross-border terrorism aimed against India”, Singh said.
