The BJP had accused the Central Government of Targeting Hindu leaders and linking them to cases of bomb blast that too without sufficient evidence.

The Main opposition also came to the defence of Yogi Adityanath whose name reportedly figured in the investigation into the Malegaon blasts case.

Yogi Adityanath represents Gorakhpur parliamentary segment.

"Linking Adityanath to the (Malegaon blast) case is not procedural but political," BJP chief Rajnath Singh told.

"Without sufficient evidence, the government is targeting Hindu religious leaders and ashrams. We find these actions of the government suspicious," he said.

"This government is confused on the issue of terrorism. It cannot view terrorism and Muslim community as two separate issues," Rajnath added.

"The use of phrases like Hindu terrorism has political overtones," Singh remarked.
