Expressing serious concern over "two distinct voices" that have emerged "louder" after the Gujarat election, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Tuesday made a veiled attack on the self-proclaimed champions of Hindutva, saying the concept was being projected by "some people in a narrow, rigid and extremist manner."
In his "Musings from Goa," he said this was "an unfortunate and unacceptable interpretation" that ran totally contrary to Hindutva's true spirit.
