Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has once again aired his differences with Home Minister P Chidambaram in public.

After Opposition attacked Chidambaram for his 'saffron terror' remarks, Digvijaya Singh has said that the word should not have been used. "I have an objection to associating a colour with terror," he said.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Home Minister said he stands by his earlier comment on the new phenomenon of saffron terror and that there is no patent on the word.

"The message (behind saffron terror remark) is right wing fundamentalist groups are suspected to be behind some bomb blasts and that message should not be lost in the furore over the phrase," he said.

About a month ago, Digvijaya had criticised Chidambaram on the Naxal issue.In a column in the newspaper Economic Times, Digvijaya Singh had also accused Chidambaram of being intellectually arrogant and adopting a counterproductive policy.
