It is the Congress that is communalising the hijab-saffron shawl issue and not the BJP, State party vice-president B.Y. Vijayendra said in Belagavi on Tuesday. He was here to participate in a private function.
He denied suggestions that the BJP was communalising the issue of college uniform and said that it was the Congress that was communalising it.
Congress leaders are trying to gain political mileage out of it. The BJP, on the other hand, is trying to defuse the situation, he said.
