Naidu accuses Digvijay of 'justifying' terrorism

Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu today accused Congress leader Digvijay Singh of "justifying" terrorism for his remarks that "injustice" to Indian Muslims makes terror outfits attractive to them.
"Congress leader @digvijaya_28 statement that injustice to Muslims is making ISIS attractive is nothing but justifying IS activities in India," information and broadcasting minister Naidu said in a tweet.
Yesterday, Singh said that "continuous injustice done to Muslims and prosecution of innocent Muslims will lead to a situation where Pakistan and Pakistan's wish to create unrest in India will become attractive to the Muslims of India".
The comments come in the background of a blast on the Bhopal-Ujjain express which is suspected to be the first strike by the Islamic State terror group in India.

Documents recovered from the body of terror suspect Saifullah, who was neutralised after an 11-hour-long counter-terror operation in Lucknow, hints at an ISIS link.
Meanwhile, All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi trained guns at both the BJP and the Congress.

"Maybe he (Singh) is a terrorist expert, I am not. But as far as I am concerned, I know for a fact that when Congress was ruling Maharashtra for 15 years, there were 28 undertrial Muslims in jails.

Hitting out at Digvijay for his remarks, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said he was speaking a language of the separatists.

"...If a Congress leader (Digvijay) is saying something, then he is perturbed because of the opposite results in civic polls or any other polls. The situation is now that they are speaking the language of separatists," he said.
Jitendra said the Congress should make its stand clear on issue.
"What some of the Congress leaders are saying, is that really Congress policy? If yes, then the people have to decide whether the party which calls itself a national party, is worth trust to vote it to power in future," he said.
