ABP Ideas of India Summit 2022 Day 1 Live | Hindutva Is A Way Of Life: Nitin Gadkari
"Supreme Court has rightly described Hindutva as a way of life. Religion and community are totally different from each other. So, sometimes, the interpretation of Hindutva is being done as anti-christian, anti-muslim. In the last 7 years, any of the scheme initiated by our government was not discriminatory against anyone on the basis of caste, religion, language, and sex. There was no communal approach in any of our schemes," said Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.
