Bigotry rules India
Just reflect on the news below to see how the ugliness of bigotry has now become the new face of India. So strong his fascist ideology of Hindutva that voters are willing to dump a party on mere suspicion of being pro-Muslim. It is same sickness that has afflicted nearly a billion Hindus to attack and kill Muslims on mere suspicion of eating or trading with beef.
Now secular party leaders must show their Hinduness by visiting temples and observing Diwali and all Hindu festivities, otherwise they fear of being dumped as not-Hindu-enough.
It is simply shameful and disgusting!

“The BJP has managed to, I don’t say brainwash because that is a rude word, but it has managed to convince people, to persuade people that the Congress party is a Muslim party. In my party, the great majority is Hindu. Yes, there are Muslims too. So I fail to understand this branding us as a Muslim party,” she said at the India Today Conclave in Mumbai.
She also said the Congress had been “pushed into a corner” and so felt the need to draw attention, rather than keeping quiet, to Rahul’s frequent temple visits before the Gujarat assembly elections in December 2017. Then, his visits had sparked a debate on whether the Congress party was resorting to ‘soft Hindutva’.
Gandhi said that as a family, they have always visited temples but never made it a spectacle. “We have always been to temples. When I used to travel with Rajiv, wherever we went, we would visit at least one major, important temple. We never made a show of it. It was quite a natural thing. Rahul has gone to temples before,” she said.

BJP managed to convince people we are a Muslim party: Sonia Gandhi
She also said the Congress had been “pushed into a corner” and so felt the need to draw attention, rather than keeping quiet, to Rahul’s frequent temple visits before the Gujarat assembly elections in December 2017.
UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi Friday said the BJP had managed to “convince” people that the Congress was a “Muslim party” and indicated that Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s visits to temples was an attempt to shed that perception.“The BJP has managed to, I don’t say brainwash because that is a rude word, but it has managed to convince people, to persuade people that the Congress party is a Muslim party. In my party, the great majority is Hindu. Yes, there are Muslims too. So I fail to understand this branding us as a Muslim party,” she said at the India Today Conclave in Mumbai.
