New Delhi: A day after getting a temporary relief from the Supreme Court in the "hate speech" case, BJP leader Varun Gandhi said he was not in favour of violence as a tool in politics but would continue to raise his voice against "anti-national forces".
In a written statement circulated to media on Friday, he said the countrymen need to unite to face the threat of terrorism emanating from the neighbouring countries.
"Indians should unite to face the threat of terrorism (emanating from) neighbouring countries. We need to rise and face this menace boldly and I shall continue to raise my voice against anti-national forces," Varun said.
Varun was released yesterday from Etah jail on parole for two weeks following a Supreme Court directive, almost 19 days after he was detained under the NSA for making hate speeches at election meetings in Pilibhit.
Varun had been released on parole to campaign for Lok Sabha polls with the condition that he would not indulge in any conduct likely to disturb communal harmony.
