Karnataka Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah in Kalaburagi on February 5 said that Hindutva and Hindu are different. He criticised Hindutva and Manuvad, saying that they support murder and violence and discrimination.
“Hindutva is against Constitution. Hindutva and Hindu dharma are different. I'm not against Hindu religion. I'm a Hindu but oppose Manuvad and Hindutva. No religion supports murder and violence but Hindutva and Manuvad support murder, violence and discrimination.”
