Digvijaya Singh Criticises RSS and Announces Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra
· India · NDTV
Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has launched a sharp criticism of the RSS, accusing the organisation of distorting Sanatan Dharma for political gains. To protest alleged religious exploitation, Singh announced plans to undertake the 'Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra', a foot march stretching from Ujjain to Ayodhya. During his announcement, he asserted that the word "Hindu" does not appear in any traditional religious texts. The planned yatra aims to rally public support against what he describes as the misuse of religious identity. The exact dates and schedule for the foot march are yet to be officially released.
Why it matters
The yatra and Singh's remarks are expected to intensify political friction between the Congress and the BJP over religious identity and nationalism in the lead-up to upcoming political engagements.
