Radical outfit Dal Khalsa today lashed out at Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde for his remarks about misuse of social media for spreading rumours to foment trouble.
In a statement here, party spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh alleged that Shinde's comments were meant to "terrorise" Punjab Hindus and polarise the society ahead of Lok Sabha elections.
On the subject of misuse of cyber space, Shinde had drawn attention to attempts being made to revive militancy in certain places by unleashing distorted narratives about emotive events and issues on internet to mislead and misguide youth.
"One such sinister attempt was nipped in the bud by an alert Punjab Police. It had come to notice recently that in Punjab some self-radicalised groups had made attempts to vitiate the atmosphere by targeting some important leaders," Shinde had said yesterday at a meet of top police brass in Delhi.
