Kamal Nath on being asked about Hindu Rashtra, says already one with 82% Hindu

Congress MP and Former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, Kamal Nath, on Tuesday, in response to making Hindu Rashtra said that with 82% of Hindu people in the nation, India was already a Hindu nation. The statement was given by Kamal Nath, referring to self-styled godman Bageshwar Dham chief priest Dhirendra Shastri’s demands for a Hindu Rashtra.

Backed by the data, he further said that we already are an established Hindu nation.

The statement from Nath came during a press conference on Monday after the conclusion of the three-day Hanuman Katha organised by the Congress in Nath’s stronghold of Chhindwara district in Madhya Pradesh. After being asked if he supports Dhirendra Shahstri’s demand for a Hindu rashtra, Nath said, “Everyone has their own views. Today if 82 per cent are Hindus in our country, then what nation is this? If 82 per cent are Hindus? I am secular. I am what is written in our Constitution.”

Meanwhile, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader had also attacked MP Nakul Kamal Nath, Kamal Nath’s son, the day before after he had welcomed the chief priest of the Bageshwar Dham to Chhindwara.
