Haryana minister Anil Vij lashed out at the Congress party on Saturday, saying that it is because of the grand old party's divisive policies that India has never lived in peace.

In reference to the ongoing Hijab controversy, Vij stated that while Congress claims to be "secular," it has always divided the country in the name of religion.

"They got the country partitioned in the name of Hindus, Muslims," the BJP leader added.
