Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar likened ‘Hindutva’ to a BJP leader "slapping a blind, hungry tribal girl because she attends a Christmas lunch in a Church". “Hindutva asks 80% Hindus to quiver in front of 14% Muslims,” he added. BJP’s Shehzad Poonawalla said Aiyar’s comments are an “insult to Sanatan.” He said SC defined Hindutva as a way of life.
