Bhopal : Congress leader Salman Khurshid’s book on Ayodhya – specifically two lines comparing “Hindutva” with radical Islamist terror groups – has found a new critic in Madhya Pradesh minister Narottam Mishra.
Mr Mishra has slammed Mr Khurshid’s new book, calling it “condemnable” and hitting out at those who “don’t leave an opportunity to divide Hindus or divide our country”.
“Salman Khurshid’s book is condemnable. They don’t leave an opportunity to divide Hindus into castes or to divide our county… Was Rahul Gandhi not the first to go to those who said ‘Bharat tere tukde honge‘?
Filmmaker Prakash Jha was roughed up, his face smeared with ink on Sunday when a group of Bajrang Dal members went on a rampage on his set.
These days, there’s a lot of conversation around the ‘fringe’ becoming ‘mainstream’. As a civil society, there are certain limits upto which people could register their angst or protest against something or someone they find offensive. This is a mainstream discourse. However, this mainstream discourse appears to be deflecting towards more extreme form of protests as people engage in violence.
