Cong has pathological hatred for Hinduism: BJP

November 12, 2021 17:56

The BJP claimed on Friday that the Congress leadership nurses "pathological hatred" for Hinduism as it hit out at Rahul Gandhi for his criticism of Hindutva.

The BJP said it is at Rahul Gandhi's behest that Congress leaders like Salman Khurshid, Shashi Tharoor and P Chidambaram have allegedly targeted the religion.

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra attacked Gandhi after the Congress leader sought to draw a distinction between Hinduism and Hindutva, a term widely used by the RSS, and alleged that the RSS-BJP ideology was about spreading hate.

Patra alleged that Gandhi has a history of making critical comments about Hinduism and its culture. It is in the character of the Congress and the Gandhi family to attack Hinduism at every opportunity, he said.
