A new controversy has erupted over congress leader salman Khurshid's new book 'Sunrise Over Ayodhya'.
There is a sentence on one page of this controversial book that has created all the controversy.
Some bjp and vishwa Hindu Parishad leaders say the book compares the new incarnation of Hindutva to jihadist groups isis and Boko Haram.
On the other hand, salman Khurshid says that in his book, he compared Hindutva with extremist organizations, not Hinduism. The book contains many good things about Hinduism. people should read the whole book.
Senior congress leader ghulam nabi azad has openly said that he does not agree with this issue.
He tweeted, Even if salman Khurshid says in his new book that Hindutva is a political ideology different from the all-encompassing culture of Hinduism.
We may not like Hindutva but to parallel it with isis and Jihadi islam is factually mistaken, it is an extravagance.
What is the subject of the book?
Salman Khurshid's book is on the ayodhya dispute and the latest decision of the supreme Court. He justified the decision of the supreme court and said that it was a long journey.
After the decision was made, people began to form their own opinions without reading them. But this is a good decision. The decision is to apply ointment to the current situation. It's an attempt to prevent that from happening again.
From what: Controversy?
The controversial part of Khurshid's book appears in the sixth chapter, The Saffron Sky.
It has a sentence -
Sanatan dharma and classical Hinduism, as practiced by sages and saints, were being pushed aside by a strong version of Hindutva, which was, by all accounts, a political version of jihadist islam akin to isis and Boko Haram in recent years.
This has led to reactions from many leaders. They do not know anything about Hindutva. Sometimes they associate Hindutva with terrorism, sometimes with the Taliban.
That's all nonsense. Reacting to this, Union minister Mahendra Nath Pandey also said, salman Khurshid's thoughts are spreading religious hatred.
They are making such unfounded statements to save our political existence. Protest
Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Surendra Jain said: Their tailgating politics is over and they are not digesting it.
He wrote, This is an attempt to discredit Hindu Dharma, which is based on the principle of 'My home is the world'. Such partial information may give you publicity but it will hurt the feelings of millions of Hindus.
P Chidambaram, another senior congress leader, was also present at the launch of salman Khurshid's book. Commenting on the ayodhya verdict, he said, It took a long time for both the parties to accept the decision of the supreme Court.
