Alleging Congress was responsible for rise of terrorism in Kashmir as also of the activities of Maoists and ULFA,Katiyar said,Rahul should know that during Rajiv Gandhis prime ministership,there were LTTE training camps at eight places in India.

I ask Rahul Gandhi,his mother (Sonia Gandhi) and Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh) why were Sikhs killed in 1984? Congress has no right to be in politics. It should be banned, Katiyar told a press conference here.

Strongly condemning the remarks by Rahul,Katiyar charged it will give a leverage to the LeT and the ISI. It is intended to save Afzal Guru (from capital punishment) and to have Ajmal Kasab released (from jail).
