<b>'Arjun encouraging terrorism, sack him'</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->New Delhi, July 14: The BJP demanded dismissal of Minority Affairs Minister A R Antulay and HRD Minister Arjun Singh from their posts for their alleged remarks in a Cabinet meeting suggesting that Hindu groups faked terrorist attacks and blamed them routinely on Muslims.
"These are utterly irresponsible statements from the two Ministers. Both of them are encouraging terrorism and therefore deserved to be sacked from the posts," BJP spokesman
During the Cabinet discussion on Thursday on government response to the Mumbai train bombings, Antulay had reportedly referred to a report that a mystery blast in Maharashtra's Nanded in April was planned by Hindus posing as Muslims, a news report said.
In his comments, the HRD Minister is said to to have quoted a former Maharashtra judge as having alleged that the botched terror strike on the RSS headquarters in Nagpur was a Sangh plot.
