"Shinde must apologise for these unacceptable and irresponsible comments," Manmohan Vaidya, RSS' propaganda chief, told reporters here.
"The remarks are extremely insulting and he must tender an apology," he said, adding "terrorism has no colour, it should not be linked to Hindus."
Shinde had kicked up a storm when, addressing the recent brainstorming session of Congress at Jaipur, he accused RSS and BJP of promoting Hindu terror.
