In Nagpur, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis endorsed the remarks made by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat in the United States, asserting that tolerance is the essence of Hindutva ideology. During his speech in New York, Bhagwat argued that anyone who believes there should be no Muslims in India cannot be a true Hindu. Fadnavis welcomed Bhagwat's statements, stating that Hindus have always embraced newcomers due to their tolerance.
However, Fadnavis clarified that Hindus never initiate aggression; they only respond to attacks. The Chief Minister reiterated that tolerance is the core of Hindutva and the reason for India's enduring civilization, despite facing invasions throughout history. Bhagwat emphasized that a Hindu must believe that all paths lead to the same goal and that every individual possesses dignity.
The opposition has called for Bhagwat to repeat these remarks when he returns to India, while Congress leader Rashid Alvi questioned the necessity of the trip, suggesting that a problem exists between Hindus and Muslims within the country.
