Congress has alleged that BJP is trying to divide the country on communal lines to muster power at the Centre. Briefing reporters in New Delhi on Sunday, party spokesman Abhishek Manu Singhvi termed its defence of Amit Shah's revenge remark in Uttar Pradesh as justification of communalism.
He said, Shah's remark shows that BJP does not understand the idea of India and its agenda is to divide communities for electoral gains.
Referring to the sting operation by Cobra post on Babri Mosque demolition, Singhvi accused BJP leaders of practising hypocrisy and not having the courage to accept their role in the incident.
