Bengaluru: Accusing the Congress party of indulging in vote bank politics, BJP national President Amit Shah on Wednesday asked Rahul Gandhi to apologise to Hindus for labelling them ‘terrorists’. In the blast context, Shah recalled a conversation in which Gandhi told the US envoy Timothy Roemer that ‘Hindu Terror’ was a more worrying factor than Laskar-e-Taiba of Pakistan. “The people of Karnataka are waiting to punish the Congress in the May 12 state assembly elections,” thundered Shah. “In pursuit of vote bank politics, the Congress popularised ‘Hindu Terror’ and tried to implicate some Hindu activists in the Meccas Masjid blast case in Hyderabad over a decade ago, though a NIA court acquitted them,” said Shah at an event here. “Congress leaders, including P.
Chidambaram, Sushil Kumar Shinde and Digvijay Singh carried out ‘Hindu Terror’ campaign and tried to defame Hindus within and outside the country to appease a section of society,” recalled Shah..
