Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday asserted that the Congress was a party of Hinduism and that he is a “nationalistic leader” who respects every religion.

Interacting with journalists, professionals and members of the business community in Indore, Mr. Gandhi said, “No, I am not a Hindutva leader. I am a nationalistic leader who represents every section, every caste, every faith, every language and every region.”

“Hinduism and Hindutva are different things. Hinduism is open-minded, progressive, free-thinking. Hinduism is completely opposed to anger, hatred and violence,” he observed.
