NEW DELHI: Reinforcing Congress party resolve to take on the militant Hindutva, another general secretary of the party has equated VHP general secretary Praveen Toadied Al-Qaeeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
Talking to The Indian Awaaz, Congress general secretary B K Hariprasad said: “Praveen Togadia, and Pramod Muthalik of Sri Rama Sene are equivalent of Al-Qaeeda chief Osama Bin Laden." He even offered to take political ‘sanyas’ if any BJP leaders could define true meaning of Hindutva.
“I have said this in a public meeting at Mangalore and will say this every where. Congress is ready to fight these elements effectively”, he said firmly.
He said that the great religion of Hindu did not need the saffron brigade as its protectors. “Hindu religion is all encompassing and there is no need for any one to proclaim them to be its custodians” he said.
Hariprasad said that Hindutva has nothing more than political connotations for the BJP and its religious affiliates such as the VHP.
Congress general secretary said that leaders such as Togadia and Muthalik have done no good for the nation or the Indian society so far and their actions have divided the society and created ill will among the people.
The party other general secretary Digvijay Singh have already taken cudgel against the forces of Hindutava exposing them at all public platform.
