New Delhi: People protesting against political apathy during the Mumbai terror attack are no better than terrorists. That’s what BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has said.

"Some women wearing lipstick and powder have taken to streets in Mumbai and are abusing politicians spreading dissatisfaction against democracy. This is what terrorists are doing in Jammu and Kashmir," said Naqvi, the party’s national vice-president.

"These are difficult times for the nation. In times like this we should unite in our war against terror and the Pak sponsored attacks rather than waging war against the democratic institutions."

BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy has sought to down play Naqvi's statement and said "he did not mean to say that. His words were presented in a wrong contest. BJP does not subscribe to any such views."
