Digvijay Singh calls RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat ‘Hitler'

'I thought we had one Hitler in making but it seems now we have Two! God save India'

New Delhi: The Congress on Monday launched a scathing attack on RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat calling him “Hitler” over his remarks that India is a Hindu nation and Hindutva is its identity and cautioned against “ominous signs of communal terror, violence and polarisation”.

Making a distinction between Hinduism and Hindutva, party spokesperson Anand Sharma said that equating the two is “belittling” the philosophy and richness of Hinduism. Party general secretary Digvijay Singh, a known detractor of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, tweeted, “I thought we had one Hitler in making but it seems now we have Two! God save India!,”

A day after the RSS chief made the controversial remarks in Mumbai, Mr Singh asked, “A question to Mohan Bhagwat — Is Hindutva a religious identity? RSS should stop fooling the people by using religion in politics.” Mr Singh said.
