Only Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi can send back the ‘Jinn of Hindutva’ into the bottle he brought it out from, Pakistan’s former foreign minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri has said. Kasuri’s book launch was marred by the Shiv Sena workers in Mumbai last week.
“‘Hindutva’ is a right-wing ideology which is centered around the following belief: The entire Indian subcontinent, which includes countries other than India, is the homeland of the Hindus,” Kasuri said.
Kasuri’s statement comes in the wake of reports of Shiv Sena activists barging into the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president’s office in Mumbai shortly before he was scheduled to meet PakistanCricket Board chief Shahryar Khan to discuss steps to revive cricket ties between the two nations.
