Criticising home minister P Chidambaram for using the term 'saffron terrorism', Modi said, "it is the height of misfortune that the Union minister has demeaned the chair which was once held by the Iron man of India, Sardar Patel." "Is not there a saffron flag on a temple? Would you call it a centre of terrorist activity? Swami Vivekanand, Dayanand Saraswati, Shankracharya, Swami Ramdas and others who have sacrificed for the country wore saffron clothes. Are you calling them terrorist?" Modi asked. "Every Congressmen will have to answer this. And the Prime Minister has to apologies to the people of the country for this," the chief minister added.
