Bhopal: Taking a jibe at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Saturday quoted Sangh ideologue Veer Savarkar as saying that Hindutva has nothing to do with Hindutva.
Singh said while there are Hindus who eat beef and claim that eating beef is not banned, there are some Hindus who oppose cow slaughter.
“Veer Savarkar has written in his book that Hindutva has nothing to do with Hindutva. He never considered the cow as ‘mother’.”
Singh said Savarkar, who is now an ideologue of the BJP and the Sangh, has written in his book that there is no problem in eating beef.
The former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, who was speaking during the ‘Jan Jagran Abhiyan’ in Bhopal, categorically stated that the oldest party is at war with the ideology of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Stepping up his attack on the ruling party, the Congress leader said that the BJP will change the Constitution and end the reservation system if it comes to power again in 2024, ANI reported.
The Congress leader, who has been vocal against the Sangh, had drawn an analogy between the RSS and the Taliban after RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s statement of working women in September this year.
He cited a 2013 statement by Bhagwat where he had reportedly said, “Women should be housewives; men should be the earners” to target the RSS.
