Delhi (The Stellar News) Saksham Kalia: Senior leader of congress Salman Khurshid ignites a new controversy over his statement in his book “Ayodhya”. A delhi based lawyer has filed a complaint against Salman Khurshid, accusing him for comparing ‘Hindutva’ with radical Islamic terror groups. Ahead of assembly elections in five states next year, BJP also accused him for playing ‘communal card’ to get votes of muslims.
BJP amid the controversy, sought resignation of Salman Khurshid from congress party and asked Soniya Gandhi to give clarification of the statement “if she respects Hindus sentiments”.
A passage in Mr Khurshid’s new book, ”Sunrise Over Ayodhya: Nationhood in Our Times”, read: “Sanatan Dharma and classical Hinduism known to sages and saints were being pushed aside by a robust version of Hindutva, by all standards a political version similar to the jihadist Islam of groups like ISIS and Boko Haram of recent years”.
