New Delhi, December 19: Congress leader Digvijay Singh today moved an amendment to the political resolution related to disallowing religious fundamentalism to hijack the politics in the country.
However, the 83rd AICC Plenary decided to skip the amendment with Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee declaring that he agreed with the spirit of the changes sought by Singh but would request him not to press for it.
The former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister had sought insertion of a paragraph: “Indian National Congress has never compromised with any religious fundamentalism whether Hindu or Muslim. Even before Independence, we fought Muslim League on one hand and RSS and Hindu Mahasabha on the other hand. We subscribe to strengthen the secular fabric of this country and not allow religious fundamentalism to hijack the politics in India”.
