NEW DELHI: The Congress on Saturday discussed the apprehension of communal tension following BJP's plan to take out yatras to protest against the Varanasi terror attack.
It also discussed the Samajwadi Party's support for Muslim protests over foreign policy issues, but refrained from attacking UP cm Mulayam Singh Yadav.
The Congress reluctance to go after SP stood in contrast to the confrontation between the two parties and was in line with the pattern of "secular" consolidation in the face of BJP's Hindutva offensive.
A meeting of the Congress Working Committee saw participants attack BJP for seeking to "communalise" the attack as well as the role of SP in stoking militant Muslim mobilisation on Indo-US nuclear deal and anti-Iran vote at IAEA.
