New Delhi: spokesperson Sambit Patra on Friday attacked Congress over the leader Shashi Tharoor's 'Hindi, Hindu, Hindutva' tweet. BJP on Friday warned Congress president Rahul Gandhi and accused the grand old party of insulting Hinduism as part of its 'designed conspiracy to demean' the culture of the nation.
Sambit Patra said, "Today, Tharoor's tweet is very objectionable. We consider his comments as of the Congress party because he is blue-eyed boy of Rahul Gandhi. The Congress always endorses what Shashi Tharoor says." The BJP leader added that people know the Congress' real face and will give them a befitting reply in the upcoming Lok Sabha election.
This comment of Patra came after the remark of Tharoor Tweet on Hindi, Hindu, Hindutva’. Tharoor Tweeted "This 'Hindi, Hindu, Hindutva' ideology is dividing our country. We need unity, not uniformity."
Patra said, "This is not accidental misadventure (Tharoor's comments). This is designed conspiracy to demean the culture of India. Congress leaders are insulting Hinduism as part of a designed conspiracy," Patra alleged. He further added that "This is the same Shashi Tharoor who recently insulted the Kumbh. On July 18, 2018, coined the word Hindu Taliban.”
