Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Monday castigated Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad for a speech where he said “All Muslims are essentially Hindu in India”.
“Mr. Azad’s remarks were dangerous and divisive. They resemble the language of the RSS, the BJP, and the Jana Sangh,” Ms. Mufti said.
Mr. Azad had said that all Muslims in India were essentially Hindus, “who had converted to Islam only some time back”.
