New Delhi, Apr 4: Senior Congress leader Arjun Singh on Saturday termed as "unfortunate" Varun Gandhi's detention under National Security Act.
"It is unfortunate", he said when asked about the storm created by Varun's hate speech against Muslims in Pilibhit and the slapping of NSA against him by the Mayawati government.
29-year-old Varun was held under NSA in connection with his hate speeches in Pilibhit last month.
Varun had subsequently surrendered before a local court in Pilibhit and was sent to the district jail there. He was later shifted to Etah jail.
The BJP candidate from Pilibhit had moved the Supreme Court challenging the charges against him under NSA.
