NEW DELHI: Terrorism has no religion, but a “dangerous game” is afoot to link it with one faith or the other, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu said today.
Naidu said people will have to guard against such attempts. He also stressed that no language should be attached with any religion, saying many Hindus speak better Urdu than Muslims.
Naidu, who had earlier courted controversies emphasising on the need to learn Hindi, said no language should be imposed on anyone and that the primary focus should be on learning mother tongue.
“Terror has no religion, let us be clear in our minds. Unfortunately, some people are connecting terror to this religion or that religion. It is a menace to the society.
“Some friends want to mix terror with religion so as to confuse the people. It is a very dangerous game being played by some people outside. We have to be extra careful. No religion preaches terror,” the Vice-President said.
He was delivering the second Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Memorial Lecture at the India Islamic Cultural Centre here. (AGENCIES)
