This refers to the protest in Rajya Sabha by some BJP and Shiv Sena MPs over the Home Minister’s remarks on the ‘saffron terrorism’.  The repugnance is understandable as terror was linked to extremist Hindutva ideology.  What is not understandable is, as to why these rightwing parties think terrorism to be the monopoly of only Islamic fundamentalism and have least penitence to castigate any terror activity done by a disgruntled Muslim organisation as ‘Islamist terrorism’.
