Does 'Hindu terrorism' exist? Home Minister Rajnath Singh's statement in Parliament has revived the debate. What do you think?

In a sharp attack on the Congress party, Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday, July 31, accused the Congress of weakening the fight against terror by coining the word 'Hindu terrorism.'

The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government, Singh said, had come up with the term to change the course of the investigation into acts of terror.

'The then home minister had coined the new term "Hindu terrorism" in order to change the direction of the probe. It weakened our fight... Hafiz Saeed of Pakistan had congratulated the then home minister,' Singh alleged in Parliament, a reference to then home minister and Congress leader P Chidambaram.

Rajnath Singh's remarks have revived the debate on 'Hindu terrorism.'
