“By his Hindustan for Hindu remark yesterday, he violated the oath of office he had taken to protect the country’s integrity and unity”.
Singhvi additionally used the event to focus on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Acharya made the controversial comments during a book launch in reply to a question on the Centre’s notification of allowing religious minorities from Pakistan and Bangladesh fleeing persecution to seek shelter in India.
His statement on Sunday came a day after a section of the media quoted Acharya as saying that “Hindustan is for Hindus and that there is nothing wrong with that”. Towing the populist line and fanning the anti- migrant sentiments in the state, Acharya said that not a single Bangladeshi’s name should be there in the National Register for Citizens (NCR). There is nothing flawed with that. Hindus from different countries can stay here. They can not be outsiders. There is nothing to be feared about that.
