Congress leader Salman Khurshid recently sparked controversy by drawing a comparison between ISIS and Hindutva in his new book on the Ayodhya verdict. On November 13, Khurshid clarified that they are similar not the same. “I didn't say that they are the same (ISIS and Hindutva). I have said they are similar. I have also said that ISIS and Boko Haram misuse the religion of Islam but no Islamic followers opposed it. Nobody said that I am maligning the image of their religion. It seems that some people are trying to defame Hinduism. They are enemies of Hinduism and are afraid that their truth will come out,” he added.
