New Delhi, February 26: The BJP on Tuesday reacted cautiously to a declaration by Islamic groups that Islam does not allow terrorism, saying it would be welcome if it is put in practice.

“They said Islam does not permit terrorism. If it can be put in practice, it will be most welcome,” BJP spokesman V K Malhotra told reporters in New Dellhi.

“But world-over Islamic terrorism has increased. It will be good if they can create awareness about this all over the country,” he said.

Malhotra further said people, including medical and engineering students, have been caught in places like West Bengal and Hyderabad for having terror links.

“People in the country are now getting into it. Earlier, external forces like the ISI were fostering terrorism here,” he said.
