Slamming Hindu Rashtra, Digvijaya Singh Says ‘People with such demands must resign from constitutional posts’.

Controversy on Hindu Rashtra in Congress…

Contradicting Kamal Nath, Digvijaya Singh Slams Hindu Rashtra Defenders, Says “People With Such Demands Must Resign From Constitutional Posts” forthwith. 

It is evident that any claim of Hindu Rashtra from anyone from Congress is a bogus and contradictory thing. 

Upendra Bharti | HENB | Bhopla | Aug 16, 2023:: In the Chhindwara Ramkatha programme Kamal Nath (former CM, Madhya Pradesh) and his son Nakul Nath (MP from Chindwara) both greeted Godman  Dhirendra Krishna Shashtri of Bageshwar Dham in a high reception. Asked by the media, Kamal Nath hinted a Hindu Rashtra is already in India considering its 82% majority of Hindus. Though Hindus are now less than 80% (79.80 % as per 2011 census), the remarks of the veteran Cong leader created a controversy.

Now, Congress’ Rajya Sabha member Digvijaya Singh’s recent comment– where he slammed those defending demands of ‘Hindu Rashtra’, has left his party startled. During his visit to Karnataka’s Hubli on Tuesday, Singh said that any person who has taken the oath of the constitution and talks about ‘Hindu Rashtra’, should first resign from his post.

Making a distinction between ‘Hindu Rashtra’ and ‘Hindutva’, Digvijaya Singh said, “There is no such thing as ‘soft’ or ‘hard’ Hindutva. The creator of the word ‘Hindutva’ is Savarkar and he himself has said that ‘Hindutva’ has nothing to do with Hinduism or Sanatan Dharma. If any person working after taking the oath of the constitution talks about ‘Hindu Rashtra’, he should first resign from his post.”

In a stark contradiction, a few days ago, his party head Kamal Nath had said, “India is already a Hindu nation.” Diggy’s contradictory views came at a time when Madhya Pradesh is eyeing assembly elections.

Digvijaya Singh further said, ‘It is not a matter of Hindu nation or Islam nation. This country belongs to everyone. In our country, along with Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists and all religions have fought for freedom. Was Ashfaqullah not hanged along with Shaheed Bhagat Singh? This country belongs to everyone.”

Notably, talking to the media recently, Kamal Nath had said that there are 82 percent Hindus in India. In such a situation, India is already a Hindu nation, after that what is the need to talk about it separately?

The statement drew attacks from the ruling BJP. Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra called Kamal Nath an ‘electoral Hindu’ who disguises himself as a Hindu when elections come.

From this row, it is evident that any claim of Hindu Rashtra from anyone from Congress is a bogus thing and will not be supported by its central body anyway.
