New Delhi: Union minister Giriraj Singh, who had labelled Shaheen Bagh as the training ground for suicide bombers and Deoband as aatankvaad ki Gangotri, was summoned by BJP president J.P. Nadda on Saturday apparently over his controversial remarks.

Often in news for his controversial remarks, the Union minister of animal husbandry, dairy and fisheries had earlier this week, in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, stoked a controversy when he said that Deoband, a town in the area, which also houses a famous Islamic seminary, is the Gangotri of terrorism from where terrorists like Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed came.

“I had once said earlier that Deoband is the Gangotri of terrorists. All most-wanted terrorists of the world came from Deoband, including Hafiz Saeed. These people are not against CAA, they are against India. This is a kind of a Khilafat movement,” Singh had said while attacking the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protests in Deoband.
