Sanjay Raut's remarks come after AQIS threatened suicide attacks in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Mumbai and Delhi
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday held the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) responsible for allegedly damaging the social harmony of the country and referring to reports of threats of suicide attacks from terror outfit Al-Qaeda in the Subcontinent (AQIS) said that "BJP will be responsible if anything happens".
"Everything was fine in the country but the spokesperson of BJP wants a clash between two religions. If anything happens in the country then BJP is responsible for it. We will do our work but when will they take cognizance of those who are behind all this?" Mr Raut told reporters in Mumbai.
Mr Raut's remarks come after AQIS threatened suicide attacks in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Mumbai and Delhi to "fight for the dignity of our Prophet" amid a brewing controversy over the remarks by BJP leaders on the founder of Islam.
The threat statement said, "saffron terrorists should now await their end in Delhi and Bombay and in UP and Gujarat".
