Shinde drew flak from the BJP after he accused the party and RSS of promoting “Hindu terrorism” through their training camps. Recalling the incidents like Samjhauta express, Mecca Masjid and Malegaon blast, Shinde alleged that the Hindu group was behind the strikes.
The BJP opposed the statement demanding an apology from Sonia Gandhi. Even the party leaders said that the matter will be raised in the Parliament during the budget session.
