It’s Become Fashionable To Sympathise With Terrorists: Naidu  

New Delhi: Hitting out at the opposition, Union Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday said people should avoid doing 'cheap politics' over the killing of SIMI activists in Bhopal.

"I am unable to make out why some people are so concerned about terrorists. Perhaps, it has become a fashion for them," the Minister for Information & Broadcasting said at an International Film Festival of India (IFFI) press conference here.

Police on Monday gunned down eight undertrial activists of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) in an alleged gun battle, hours after they escaped from a high-security jail in Bhopal.

Naidu also slammed those who gave a communal colour to the whole incident and called it 'cheap politics'.
