Hitting out at those claims that Hindus cannot be found accountable in terror-related cases, he quoted, "right wing cannot challenge talk of Hindu terrorists because terror has spread into their camp as well."

This remark drew a spiky effect - especially from saffron party BJP. The national representative of the party, GVL Narasimha Rao, compared the actor Kamal Haasan to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) organizer Hafiz Saeed.
