By accusing the opposition BJP and its ideological mentor, the RSS, of promoting terrorism, the Home Minister has delivered a scalable controversy. "The BJP will not tolerate this repeated insult of Hindu and saffron traditions of India," said BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad, reiterating his party's demand for an apology and the dismissal of Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde. "He is a light-weight Home Minister making lightweight remarks, but since he spoke in the Prime Minister's presence, it has to be taken seriously," Mr Prasad said.
