Nationwide BJP protests against Shinde's saffron terror remark, demands apology from Sonia, PM

New Delhi/Lucknow/Patna, Jan 24: The Bharatiya Janata Party today held nationwide protests against Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde's remark at the AICC that BJP, RSS were organizing saffron terror camps, a remark disowned by the Congress.



The BJP  leader also lashed out at Congress leader Digvijay Singh for mentioning Hafiz Saeed as 'Saeed Saheb' and Osama bin Laden as 'Osamaji'. She said it was Digvijay Singh who went to the homes of terrorists killed in Batla House encounter, in which a Delhi Police inspector was martyred.

"They have made India a laughing stock throughout the world, by mentioning saffron terror. Soniaji should apologize", Swaraj said.

Newly elected BJP president Rajnath Singh, addressing the protesters, warned that his party would not allow Parliament to function if Shinde does not withdraw his remark.

"It's strange, Soniaji and the PM keeping a silence over Shinde's saffron terror remark.

"I can understand Manmohanji's silence. He remains silent on any issue for a month or even a year, but what about Soniaji? How can she allow such vote-bank issues in politics? Let Soniaji make her stand clear", said Singh.
