Former Union Minister and Congress leader P. Chidambaram has said that majoritarianism is the biggest enemy of the country. He was here on Wednesday to release a commemorative volume on E. Ahmed, former Union Minister of State for External Affairs.
Mr. Chidambaram recalled that Ahmed too was concerned that majoritarianism would crush the country. He was worried about the spread of communalism in India in his later years. The Congress leader said not only Indians, but those in other countries too were concerned about it.
Mr. Chidambaram said he was asked by people when he travelled abroad if Muslims, Christians, those who spoke a language other than Hindi, and those who were poor and Dalits be excluded from India.
