NEW DELHI: Several leaders of the Congress and the Left on Tuesday blamed the BJP for spreading hatred in the society and said this has resulted in the communal clashes being witnessed in Haryana and the firing by an RPF constable in a Maharashtra-bound train in which four people were killed on Monday.
In a tweet in Hindi, Congress president and leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said the violence being spread in the name of religion in 21st century India is a blow to the foundation of our civilisation of treating all religions with equal respect. This cannot be tolerated under any circumstances, he said.
