Kamal Hassan rakes up 'Hindu terror' debate; BJP demands apology

After Tamil actor Kamal Hassan made yet another controversial statement over the phrase 'saffron terror' that the right wing cannot challenge anyone that there is no Hindu terrorism, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) demanded an apology on Thursday.

According to BJP spokesperson,'' Kamal Hassan should apologise and take his words back. In reality, there is no place because Hindus are in majority.''

Hassan in his column in the weekly Ananda Vikatan had written that Hindu extremists earlier believed in holding a dialogue to push their point, they now indulged in violence.

"In the past Hindu right-wing groups would not indulge in violence, but they would hold a dialogue with the opposite parties on their arguments. But this old tactic was defeated and what they stated to do is use muscle power. They started indulging in violence," he wrote.

The actor had further said that Tamil Nadu will become an example for social justice once again, and congratulated Kerala for "showing the way."

His comments come at a time when his fans and leaders of all major political parties are waiting for the 'grand announcement' he is to make on November 7, on his birthday.
