New Delhi: There was
nothing wrong in union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde's
statement on "Hindu terror", his colleague V. Narayanasamy said
Thursday while describing as unwarranted the Bharatiya Janata
Party's (BJP) protests on the issue.
"People who were arrested in the Malegaon incident and the
Samjhauta Express blast were found to be members of some of the
Hindu fundamentalist groups and it was in that context the home
minister said this. I don't see any kind of objection to any part
of his statement," Narayanasamy told reporters.
"Terrorism is terrorism; whether Hindu fundamentalism or Muslim
fundamentalism, it is condemnable," he said even as the BJP
pressed for Shinde's removal as home minister.
"Our country is a secular country and we are a secular government.
We carry all religions together and what the home minister said
was that we should not allow any terrorism in any part of the
country," he said.
He said the BJP's nationwide protest was "unwarranted" and
"unnecessary".
Shinde had said Sunday: "Whether it is the BJP or RSS, their
training camps are promoting Hindu terrorism."
Congress general secretary Janardan Dwivedi had said Tuesday that
it was a "slip of the tongue" by the home minister and the
Congress did not believe in identifying terror with religion.
