Digvijay Singh calls RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat ‘Hitler'
New Delhi: The Congress on Monday launched a scathing attack on RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat calling him “Hitler” over his remarks that India is a Hindu nation and Hindutva is its identity and cautioned against “ominous signs of communal terror, violence and polarisation”.
I thought we had one Hitler in making but it seems now we have Two ! God save India !

Making a distinction between Hinduism and Hindutva, party spokesperson Anand Sharma said that equating the two is “belittling” the philosophy and richness of Hinduism. Party general secretary Digvijay Singh, a known detractor of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, tweeted, “I thought we had one Hitler in making but it seems now we have Two! God save India!,”
A day after the RSS chief made the controversial remarks in Mumbai, Mr Singh asked, “A question to Mohan Bhagwat — Is Hindutva a religious identity? RSS should stop fooling the people by using religion in politics.” Mr Singh said.
RSS should stop fooling the innocent people by using Religion in Politics.We are proud of our Sanatan Dharm and its tolerance towards others

A question to Mohan Bhagwat - Is Hindutatva a Religious Identity ? What is its relationship with Sanatan Dharma ?
