Congress, BJP face off escalates over 'Hindu terror'

A war of words on 'Hindu terror' has broken out between the BJP and Congress after Union minister Piyush Goyal blamed Congress leaders for coining the term post 26/11.

Hitting back at Piyush Goyal, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Wednesday said the context was different when the term Hindu terrorism was coined. "There was a different background when Hindu terror word was coined. Mecca Masjid blast had taken place and Pragya Thakur, others were arrested then," Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said.
