Digvijay Singh Says Hindutva is Identity, Not Religion
Digvijay Singh, a leader from the Congress party, said that Hindutva is not about religion but is an identity.
He explained that the term 'Hindu' is a geographical term coined by the Parsis and not related to any specific religion.
He also mentioned that our religion is Sanatan, which means infinity.
Singh accused the BJP, RSS, and Asaduddin Owaisi of scaring Hindus and Muslims by saying their religions are under threat, which he believes is being done for political purposes.
He mentioned that the country suffered partition because of Savarkar and Mohammad Ali Jinnah and that dividing neighborhoods in the name of religion is not good for the unity of the country.
