Modi stumps PC with 'terror's colour in Kashmir' poser

Takes a dig at the home minister's statement on saffron terrorism

PTI | September 13, 2010

Taking a swipe at union home minister P Chidambaram for his 'saffron terror' comment, Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi today asked him to describe the "colour of terrorism in the Kashmir valley".

"Now, even terrorism has different colours, as per our home minister Chidambaram," Modi said while addressing a seminar organised by the BJP Youth Wing here.

"I would like to ask him what would be the colour of terrorism faced by the people of Kashmir. What would be colour of violence faced by thousands of Kashmiri pandits," Modi asked.

While addressing a function of state police chiefs in Delhi last month, Chidambaram had said a new phenomenon of "saffron terrorism" involved in many bomb blasts had been uncovered.

Modi further asked what was the Congress government doing when the Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley were left helpless due to the violence against them.
