BJP on Salman Khurshid backing Sushil Kumar Shinde's Hindu terror remark: highlights

BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad has slammed External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid, who backed Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde's statement on "Hindu terrorism", saying it was based "entirely on facts" made available by investigative agencies.

Below are the highlights of his speech:

• Yesterday Pakistan's terrorists celebrated after Shinde's comments. Is Khurshid supporting those terrorists?
• What kind of a picture of India is being presented?
• The BJP is deeply distressed as to the line Mr Khurshid has takenthe External Affairs Minister should weigh his words
• The remarkable achievement of India's foreign policy in exposing Pakistan in terrorism is sought to be undermined by these sort of statements
• India is indeed a victim of terror sponsored from across the border

On Income Tax investigations against Nitin Gadkari:

• These raids are being conducted on those who have invested in Purti group
• The way these raids have been conducted on the eve of the BJP presidential elections is very unfortunate
• A cloud is sought to be created over his role
• The two statements - I have a formal proper thing, it was a tying mistake
