<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The BJP leader went on to say that if Hindus ever become a minority in India, secularism will be extinguished. Reacting to the controversy stoked by Khurshid, who equated RSS with Boko Haram and ISIS, G Kishan Reddy said, &#8220;Such statements by a senior Congress leader are not appreciable.&#8221;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mr. Patra&#8217;s remark came after Rahul Gandhi attempted to distinguish between &#8216;Hinduism&#8217; and &#8216;Hindutva,&#8217; a militant philosophy closely associated with the RSS, the ruling BJP&#8217;s ideological guru. Mr. Gandhi had a history of criticizing &#8216;Hinduism&#8217; and its culture, according to the BJP leader, and it was in the Congress&#8217; &#8220;nature&#8221; to attack Hinduism and &#8220;promote hatred&#8221; in society.</p>

The book has sparked outrage, with allegations of defamation of Hindutva leveled against the senior Congressman.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Congress talks of dividing the country and Salman Khurshid has taken the same idea forward in his book Sunrise Over Ayodhya. We will take opinion from legal experts about banning this book in Madhya Pradesh,” state Home Minister Narottam Mishra said Friday. Calling it a “very condemnable book”, Mishra said, “these people do not leave any opportunity to break Hindutva, divide Hindus into castes.”</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a lawyer in Delhi has submitted a complaint with the Delhi Police, requesting that an FIR be launched against Khurshid in the case. BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia claimed Khurshid&#8217;s book on Ayodhya harms people&#8217;s religious sensibilities during a press briefing at the party&#8217;s headquarters here.</p>
