Sushilkumar Shinde's directive triggers row
- 11 years ago
Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde on Monday (September 30) directed all states to ensure that no innocent Muslim youth is wrongfully detained in the name of terror. Shinde's directive in a letter to the Chief Ministers was condemned by the Opposition as "votebank politics" with BJP alleging it was done keeping the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in mind. BJP demanded that Shinde be sacked for attempting to divide the country on communal lines and the directive be withdrawn immediately.
