TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday said his party’s ideology is like a “beautiful jewel” with an unending power inside it, but has been overshadowed by the BJP, and maintained Hinduism and Hindutva are different concepts.
If crystalized, the Congress ideology which is alive and vibrant will envelope that of the BJP-RSS, he said and emphasised on strengthening his party’s ideas within the organisation and spreading them across the country.
Gandhi was addressing online a four-day ‘AICC orientation programme’ organised at Sevagram Ashram in Wardha. Congress representatives from across the states are participating in the programme.
His remarks came amid a controversy over Congress leader Salman Khurshid’s book on Ayodhya – specifically two lines comparing “Hindutva” with radical Islamist terror groups.
Gandhi said, “We have to accept that there are two ideologies in India – the Congress ideology and the RSS ideology. We have to accept the BJP-RSS has spread hatred in today’s India.” The former Congress president said there has been “complete capture” of the media by the saffron outfit.
