Leader Shashi Tharoor attended a seminar on 'Standing Up to Hatred: Intolerance and Violence in Contemporary India' on Sunday. Social and human rights activist Swami Agnivesh was also a speaker at the event. In his address, Tharoor said,"I still remember in the eighties when MJ Akbar started writing articles about the communal menace in the mid eighties. I remember a lunch with him in Kolkata, and I said Akbar why are you going on and on about communalism this issue is over, we have grown up in a secular India. He said you are wrong the single most important issue that is coming up is the rise of the BJP. They are a dangerous party, they stand for the worst communal instincts in this country.
