Choose words before speaking: BJP to Chidambaram

The BJP today asked Union home minister P Chidambaram to carefully choose his words before speaking and demanded an apology for his 'saffron terrorism' remark.

"The home minister should maintain full caution in the selection of words, he should apologise for his saffron terrorism remarks," BJP spokesperson Ravishankar Prasad told reporters in Bhagalpur.

He further said, "Saffron is the country's pride... it is a religious cloth of shankaracharyas, sadhus and saints.. it is also the symbol of Indian culture."

Prasad was here to participate in a BJP workers meet.

The 'saffron terror' issue was raked up in the Rajya Sabha today by the BJP, and though it found itself isolated, the house witnessed two adjournments over the matter.
