Shinde also alleged that the RSS was behind the Samjhauta Express, Meccca Masjid and Malegaon blasts. He said it was the Sangh which got all the bombs planted and later blamed it on the minorities.

Reacting quickly to the allegations made by the home minister, BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said: "Home minister's statement is irresponsible and unfortunate. We condemn it."

Another BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, "Home minister Shinde's statement that BJP and RSS are promoting Hindu terrorism is condemnable and dangerous. The UPA government is trying to protect the real culprits and terrorists."
