New Delhi, April 16
The BJP on Monday hit back at the Congress after the court verdict on the Mecca Masjid blast case and asked Congress president Rahul Gandhi to apologise for “propagating the theory of saffron terror”.
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra accused the Congress of using the policy of “minority appeasement” for “narrow political gains and for divide and rule”.
The special NIA court in Hyderabad on Monday acquitted the five accused in the case.
Patra said the people of the country were wise and would respond to the Congress’s “machinations” by way of votes.
