Video: 'Should Have Looked in the Mirror Before Calling Hindus a Threat', VHP-BJP Hit Back at Hamid Ansari

A intense political controversy has erupted following recent remarks by former Vice President Hamid Ansari. During the A.G. Noorani Memorial Lecture, Ansari referenced an old statement by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, drawing sharp criticism from leaders of the BJP and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP).

Reference to Nehru's Old Statement and Noorani's Book

In his speech, Ansari noted that the threat to India is not communism, but Hindu right-wing communalism. He clarified that he was making this point based on the context recorded in A.G. Noorani's 2019 book, 'The RSS: A Menace to India'. This reference quickly triggered widespread reactions and debates across political circles.

Sharp Backlash from VHP and BJP

VHP national spokesperson Vinod Bansal reacted strongly, stating that before labeling the majority Hindu society a threat to India, one should reflect on their own public life. BJP leaders Shahnawaz Hussain and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi also condemned the remarks, calling them an unfortunate attempt to polarize society.
