Bhagwat concerned over linking Hindutva with communalism

New Delhi, December 20: In an apparent reference to remarks against the Sangh founthead by Rahul Gandhi and Digvijay Singh, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat today expressed concern over attempts to link Hindutva with communalism and terrorism.

“Sometimes people say things about Hindutva due to selfishness… people say a lot of things and say that talking about Hindutva is communalism and try to link terrorism to it and such things are on,” he said.

Bhagwat was speaking at the inauguration of Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy’s book titled ‘Hindutva and National Renaissance’.

Digvijay Singh had said the “hatred” of RSS towards Muslims was like that of Hitler for Jews and blamed the 1992 rath yatra of L K Advani as the “root of terrorism” in India.
