Digvijaya Singh Accuses RSS and VHP of Distorting Sanatan Dharma, Sparking Debate
Congress leader Digvijaya Singh accused the RSS and VHP of distorting Sanatan Dharma and promoting Hindutva to create religious divisions in India. He highlighted that the term 'Hindu' does not appear in ancient scriptures and criticized temple authorities over alleged financial irregularities related to the Ram Temple. Singh plans a 'Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra' from Ujjain to Ayodhya to protest religious exploitation. BJP leaders and Hindu figures have strongly opposed his claims, sparking a political debate.
