“How can terror be linked to a particular religion? They have now invented the term Hindu terrorism, but what about the Naxalites, majority of whom happen to be Hindus? While law must take its own course, we would be forced to launch an agitation if they go around implicating religious figures like this,” said Katiyar.
Said BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad: “There’s a compensatory policing going around which has its own political agenda. However, law must take its own course and the guilty must be brought to book. We reject the charge of Hindu terrorism as we have always believed that terror has no religion.”
