Congress uses Hindu for political gains: BJP
New Delhi, June 25 : The BJP on Monday accused the Congress of playing politics over the term Hindu, saying it symbolised its ignorance.
"Digvijaya Singh has used Hindu word in last couple of days for number of times. He has also said that there is no Hindu word," Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sundhanshu Trivedi told media at a press conference here.
Firing salvos at Congress President Rahul Gandhi, the BJP leader asked, "When there is no Hindu word, then how did Randeep Singh Surjewala call you a 'janeudhari' Hindu?"
"How many times your party will change its stand? On one hand in Kerala your party workers organise beef party and on other they convert into a 'janeudhari' Hindu," he said.
"The manner their party leaders are speaking not only signifies their ignorance but also a deep rooted conspiracy," he said.
Slamming Digvijaya Singh, Trivedi said, "He is such a learned leader that he can see 'ji' in Osama Bin Laden, he sees 'Saheb' in Hafiz Saeed and a peace loving person in Zakir Naik. This understanding of Singh and his party is exposed now.
"I want to give facts on Hindu to Singh. He should read page 72-73 of the Discovery of India written by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Where he said that this world came into practice after 10th century and it was indicated towards by and large those who are living in this Indian subcontinent denoting their culture."
"Rahul Gandhi should say whether he is comfortable with the definition of Hindu given by his great grandfather or with Singh?" he asked.

Pushpa bows down to no one, but will do so for you: Allu Arjun to fans at 'Pushpa 2' trailer launch
New Delhi, Nov 17: Telugu star Allu Arjun, who launched the trailer of his upcoming film "Pushpa 2: The Rule" in Patna on Sunday, expressed gratitude to fans for showering their love on him by turning up in huge numbers for the event.
"Pushpa 2" is directed by Sukumar and also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil.
The trailer of the much-awaited sequel to 2021's "Pushpa: The Rise" was unveiled at the jam-packed Gandhi Maidan in the Bihar capital. Also present at the event was Rashmika, who plays Srivalli to Arjun's gangster Pushpa Raj.
It was Arjun's first visit to Bihar.
"I am grateful to all of you for your love and warm welcome," he said at the event.
"Pushpa kabhi jhukega nahin, lekin aaj pehli baar, aapke pyaar ke liye jhukega (Pushpa will never bow down in front of anyone, but for the first time, he will bow down only for your love)" the National Award winner said in reference to his popular dialogue from the 2021 original film.
"Thank you Patna, you have given me a lot of love," Arjun said as he asked the audience to forgive him for his "thoda galat" (poor) Hindi speaking skills.
A stampede-like situation erupted at the venue before the trailer launch began following which police resorted to a mild lathicharge to control the crowd.
Videos of a section of spectators from the same event hurling slippers towards the stage also started circulating on social media on Sunday evening.
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings with music on T-Series, "Pushpa 2" will be released on December 5.
PUSHPA! PUSHPA! PUSHPA! PUSHPA! PUSHPA!
