Coining of 'Hindu terror' weakened anti-terror fight: Govt

July 31, 2015 15:17

The government on Friday hit out at Congress, saying the term "Hindu terrorism' coined by its previous government had "weakened' the fight against the scourge by diverting the direction of probe into the incidents of terrorism.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who made a statement on Gurdaspur attack in Lok Sabha a day after his speech on the issue was disrupted in Rajya Sabha, attacked the opposition for making it appear that Parliament is divided on terrorism.

After making the statement, he raked up a host of issues, including Sharm-el Sheikh fiasco and statements at Havana NAM Summit besides the 1962 war with China, to underline Congress' alleged failures, adding fuel to fire in the protests.
