The BJP chief said, this was not a token protest, but it will be taken to "its logical end".
Meanwhile, Congress leaders defended Shinde for his remark saying that the party has already made it clear that terrorism has no colour or religion.
Party general secretary Digvijay Singh countered saying that even Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had spoken about terrorism by Hindu Maha Sabha, then what's wrong if Chidambaram and Shinde speak about saffron terror.
Digvijay Singh said, Advani should apologise for taking up Sadhvi Pragya Singh's (Malegaon blast accused) case to the PM, Uma Bharati and Rajnath Singh should apologize for going to jail and meeting Sadhvi Pragya Singh.
"Our fight relates to ideology. Why are they up in arms against Shindeji? Is it because he is a Dalit Home Minister", asked Singh.
Congress spokesperson Renuka Chaudhary described the anti-Shinde protests as a "diversionary tactic" of BJP.
She said, the party lacks cohesion after the power struggle over the post of president. "If the Home Minister has said something against the BJP and RSS, it means he has some evidences", said Chaudhary.
Minister of state in PMO V Narayanaswamy questioned why BJP was coming in support of Malegan and other blasts accused. "When we condemn Hindu fundamentalists, they always remain silent. why?"
"We don't see any wrong when the Home Minister mentioned about Hindu terrorists", said Narayanaswamy.
