Debate between Hindutva, Hinduism missed the ideal of ‘religion being a private space’: Congress MP
Lok Sabha member and senior Congress leader Manish Tewari on Wednesday said the party went down a “slippery slope” ever since it deviated from the ideals of Nehruvian secularism.
In a series of tweets, Mr. Tewari said the debate between Hindutva and Hinduism missed the Nehruvian ideal of “religion being a private space”.
His comments are seen as a counter to former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who, on November 14, while virtually addressing party workers, had distinguished between all inclusive Hinduism and the political ideology of Hindutva that the BJP follows.
