The BJP has criticised Congress for questioning the encounter of SIMI terrorists in Madhya Pradesh. Briefing media in New Delhi, party spokesperson Shrikant Sharma said, the glorification of terrorists by few political parties is an insult to the martyrs of the country.

He said, Congress is demoralizing security and armed forces personnel by questioning their actions. Mr Sharma asked Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi not to politicise the gunning down of SIMI terrorists.
