New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday demanded the resignation of Congress leader Digvijay Singh from the party over his 'Hindu terrorism' statement.


During a press conference, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said "We demand Congress leader Digvijay Singh should be sacked from the Party. You (Digvijay Singh) pointed finger at millions of Hindus, denigrated them and called them terrorists,"

Patra also questioned INC President Rahul and said: "Why do you take Hindus for granted Rahul Gandhi?"

Digvijay had recently commented that all Hindu-religion terrorists who had been caught in the past were connected to the RSS in some way. He further added, “Nathu Ram Godse, the man who killed Mahatma Gandhi, was also part of RSS. This ideology spreads hate, hate leads to violence, which leads to terrorism.”

He clarified that he has always used the term "Sanghi terrorism" and never "Hindu terrorism."
