'Hindutva and IS are similar, not the same', clarifies Salman Khurshid after row over new book

Firstpost  

The former Union minister was embroiled in a controversy for allegedly “defaming and comparing Hinduism with terrorism” in his recent book “Sunrise Over Ayodhya: Nationhood in Our Times” Sambhal: After a row erupted on comparison between Hindutva and Islamic State in his new book, senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid on Saturday clarified that he has said they are similar, not the same. On Wednesday, former Union minister Salman Khurshid got embroiled in controversy for allegedly “defaming and comparing Hinduism with terrorism” in his recent book “Sunrise Over Ayodhya: Nationhood in Our Times”. Senior Congress leader Khurshid has compared Hindutva to radical terrorist groups like “IS and Boko Haram”. Reacting sharply over the excepts of the book, Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Sambit Patra on Friday said that the Congress party’s attack on Hinduism is not a coincidence but an experiment.
