'Not afraid of attack from Hindutvawadis'

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who took on the BJP at the party's Jaipur rally on Sunday and labelled it "power hungry", while seeking to draw a distinction between his Hinduism and its, said he would not be deterred by attacks on him. Tweeting his video of his speech, he, in an accompanying message in Hindi, said: "After listening to this, Hindutvawadis will attack me. Go on, I am not afraid."

Addressing the huge gathering in Jaipur during the national rally organised to protest against price rise and inflation, Gandhi fiercely attacked the Central government's policies and said that he is a Hindu but not Hindutvawadi. Elaborating the difference between the two, he said: "Two words cannot mean the same thing. Every word has a different meaning. In our country's politics today, the meaning of Hindu and Hindutva are the same. These are not the same thing, they are two different words and they mean completely different things. I am a Hindu but not a Hindutvawadi. Mahatma Gandhi was a Hindu and Nathuram Godse was a Hindutvawadi."(IANS)
