WikliLeaks: Rahul believes Hindu extremists bigger threat than Muslim militants

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi believes Hindu extremists pose a greater threat to India than Muslim militants, fresh WikiLeaks cables released have revealed as reported in ‘The Guardian’.
Gandhi said this to US ambassador to India Tim Roemer in a luncheon meeting recently.

Till as late as August, senior Congress leader and Union Home Minister P Chidambaram had cautioned state police forces, security and intelligence officials against the recently uncovered phenomenon of ‘saffron terrorism’.
"There is no let up in the attempts to radicalise young men and women in India. Besides, there is the recently uncovered phenomenon of saffron terrorism that has been implicated in many bomb blasts of the past. My advice to you is that we must remain ever vigilant and continue to build, at the central and state levels, our capacity in counter-terrorism," he told top police and security officers.
