"So the terrorists were not Hindus, yet the talk about Hindu terror continued. In December 2010, incredibly, a book was released by Digvijaya Singh, a prominent Congress leader, titled ‘26/11—RSS ki Saajish (RSS conspiracy)?’ ... The accusations against Hindus in those years of the UPA government were unproven, yet unrelenting. Since the Congress traditionally depended on Muslim votes, there may have been a temptation to play to the gallery. The Indian Express reported that Digvijaya Singh, during the release of the book said to a cheering audience, ”Hemant Karkare had come forth as a form of Ishwar (God) for Muslims in this country… he saved a community from being defamed.” And then went on to accuse the BJP ruled states as becoming bastions of majority (read Hindu) terrorism."
