The University of Hyderabad was honored by the visit of yet another rag picker to its premises. This time, it was former Union Minister and Congressman Sushil Kumar Shinde.
Shinde questioned as to why the police failed to arrest the Vice-Chancellor P Appa Rao and arrested the students instead.
Shinde, the genius is probably unaware of the fact that it was the students who resorted to violence and vandalism, not the Vice-Chancellor.
By the way, Shinde has great respect for Pakistan and terrorists as well. He came under intense criticism by the Indian media for addressing Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief and an alleged conspirator of Mumbai Terror Attacks Hafiz Muhammad Saeed using honorifics like Mr. and Shri.
On December 17, 2012 in an identical statement in both Houses of the Indian Parliament, said “...We had been given to understand by the interior minister of Pakistan that Mr Hafiz Saeed had been arrested on the charges of being a part of the conspiracy for the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks ... When we pursued this matter, they gave us papers pertaining to the detentions of Shri Hafiz Saeed in 2002 and 2009..." And that’s not all!
During a speech made in Congress's Chintan Shivir in Jaipur, Shinde had claimed that the Home Ministry had received a report that the RSS and BJP were promoting Hindu terrorism through their training camps.
He also accused the RSS and BJP of being behind the Samjhauta Express bombings, Mecca Masjid and Malegaon blasts.
His statements were condemned by the BJP for claiming something without giving credible proof.
The BJP demanded his immediate resignation, which at his failure to do so they would begin nationwide agitation. Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader, Dr Praveen Togadia demanded Shinde to take back his words and apologise to the whole country.
Shiv Sena also condemned his statement saying that in the aftermath of 26/11 Terrorist Attack, the Congress had said that terror should not be associated with any color or religion.
However, this time the Congress had raised the issue of "Saffron terrorism."
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar too then slammed him calling his statements "irresponsible" that clearly showed his "immaturity".
The terrorist organisations Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jamaat-ud-Dawa in Pakistan congratulated him and welcomed his statements.
