NewDelhi: RSS Akhil Bharatiya Saha Sampark Pramukh
Ram Madhav said that “Hindutva is the “true synonym” for secularism and is
liberal as it embraces all other religions”, said in Delhi today.
He was
clarifying the comments made by RSS Sarasanghachalak Mohan Bhagwat over the
debate related and a secular idea,” he told reporters.
“To portray Hindutva as anti-secular is not correct and narrow minded. Hindutva is the true synonym for secularism. We have always felt that Hindutva is the ideological anchor of RSS and it is liberal, all embracing uncalled for to link his view to day-to-day happenings on the political front and statements of certain leaders,” Madhav said.
Ram Madhav said that what its chief Mohan
Bhagwat said while addressing its swayamsevaks should not be viewed in the
context of the present political situation in the country.
“It is uncalled for to link his view to
day-to-day happenings on the political front and statements of certain
leaders,” Madhav said.
Without naming
Nitish Kumar for terming Hindutva as not being secular, Madhav said everyone
has the right to put forth their views in democracy, but maintained that
secularism and Hindutva are not opposed to each other.
