New Delhi, Aug 1
Congress leader Digvijaya
Singh on Saturday urged President Pranab Mukherjee to dismiss Tripura
Governor Tathagata Roy for spreading "communal hatred".
"I
strongly condemn Tripura Governor Tathagatha Roy's statement against
those who attended Yakub Memon as potential terrorists," the Congress
leader wrote on his Twitter handle.
"Urge Hon President to dismiss him. (An) FIR should be filed against him for spreading communal hatred," he said.
Hours
after 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Memon was hanged in Maharashtra
on Thursday, Roy tweeted: "Intelligence officials should keep a tab on
all (except relatives and close friends) who assembled before Yakub
Memon's corpse. Many are potential terrorists."
"...Intelligence keeping tab on Yakub's mourners is preventing terror. Better than cure," he wrote.
