Allegations on 'terror links' | Congress asks BJP to break its silence

The Congress on Saturday came down heavily on the BJP accusing it of having "links with terrorists" and urged its leadership to explain why their activists were found to have direct or indirect connections with anti-nationals in a handful of recent incidents across the country.

Addressing a press conference here, All India Congress Committee (AICC) spokesperson Dasoju Sravan asked if the activists of the nation's ruling party themselves are involved in such activities, then who is there to protect the people of the country and to safeguard national security.

Pointing out a number of recent heinous crimes, including the barbaric killing of a tailor in Rajasthan's Udaipur, the Congress leader alleged that the connection of the accused in such incidents with the BJP had been exposed but the party leadership was continuing its silence.
