Congress perusing policy of Muslim appeasement: BJP MP

Slamming Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi for his reported remarks on saffron terror, BJP MP Rajendra Agarwal today accused Congress of "perusing the policy of Muslim appeasement."

"Gandhi's statement to the US ambassador that Hindu terrorism was a bigger threat to India that the LeT, according to a secret US diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks, poses a danger to national unity and integrity," he said here.

State BJP president and MLA Satya Prakash Agarwal said Rahul, by his remarks, is trying to draw the attention of people who would give him a reply at the right time.

The BJP leaders said Congress is trying to divert the attention of people from "corruption" by Rahul's remarks.

Samajwadi Party MLA Shahhid Manzoor has demanded an apology from Rahul for his alleged statement on Hindu terror.
