One the first page is written ‘reaching out to Rahul Gandhi and other young parliamentarians’. In the telegram, it is written that Rahul Gandhi told US envoy ‘there was some support for the LeT in certain elements in India’s Muslim community, but the bigger threat may be of the rise of radical homegrown Hindu groups which create tension,†BJP leader Sambit Patra told media person. The BJP demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders for using the term ‘saffron terror’. “Rahul Gandhi, Sushil Kumar Shinde and P Chidambaram must apologise to the Hindu community for using the term ‘saffron terror’.
