Sushil Kumar Shinde said this regarding saffron terrorism

In this podcast, former Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde talked about this issue. During this time, when he was questioned about the use of the word saffron terrorism, he said, “Whatever came on record at that time, he had said only that. His party had told him that saffron terrorism was happening.”

He further said, “When asked at that time, I said saffron terrorism. That’s all. I used the word terrorism in my statement, but to be precise, I don’t know why I used the word terrorism. It should not have been used, it was wrong.” It should not be said that this is the ideology of that party, whether it is saffron or white.

Said this in praise of PM Modi

Regarding the question related to PM Modi, he said, “When we were in the UPA-2 government, we did not think that he would form his government at the Center thrice or become PM thrice. But he is very hard working. At that time I was also the General Secretary of Himachal, when I was the Chief Minister, he used to come to me to ask for power.
