BJP tears into Salman Khurshid over 'Hindutva = ISIS' comment

The BJP on Thursday tore into Congress leader Salman Khurshid over comparing Hindutva with Islamist jihadist groups in his new book.

The controversy erupted after Salman Khurshid in his new book ‘Sunrise Over Ayodhya’ compared Hindutva to jihadist groups like ISIS and Boko Haram.

Reacting to the statement, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said, “This reflects the true mindset of Congress; they try to legitimise the radical elements of ISIS by creating an artificial equivalence with Hindus.”

A criminal complaint was filed against Khurshid on Wednesday when a Delhi-based lawyer urged the Delhi Police Commissioner to lodge a case against the Congress leader for defaming and comparing Hindusim with terrorism.

Reacting to the complaint, Khurshid said: "“Hindu religion is a very beautiful thing. There can be no greater insult than somebody on behalf of the BJP or RSS going and filing a complaint… Do we have freedom in this country or not? Do we have freedom to think, freedom to speak?”
