The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Tuesday charged
that some human rights organisations were acting as the overground face of
terrorist groups.
"Some of the human rights organisations
are bringing a bad name to human rights and have become the overground faces
of terrorists," BJP spokesperson Arun Jaitley said while addressing a
seminar on terrorism, organised by the party's intellectual cell.
He said such organisations showcase a terrorist
to the world as if he is a most victimised person in the world.
Jaitley also expressed concern over Bangladeshi
migrants who turn into "sleeper cells" of terrorists in the country.
"But the biggest sleeper cell in the country is in North Block, which
is sleeping on the issue of terrorism," Jaitley said, mocking the government.
"The new trend is to bring any perceptional
equality between Hindu organisations and terrorists. Equating the Students
Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
is nothing but a well-planned conspiracy," he said.
"Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi
did not believe in blind secularism and never compromised on nationalism,"
said Jaitley while accusing the Congress party of "losing direction"
under Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh.
