Former V-P Hamid Ansari’s remarks exposed ‘Muslim League-Maoist character’ of Congress, says BJP
Former Vice‑President Hamid Ansari, speaking at a ceremony for late constitutional scholar A.G. Noorani, quoted a former prime minister’s claim that India’s chief threat was Hindu right‑wing communalism rather than communism, referencing Noorani’s book on the RSS. The BJP interpreted Ansari’s comments as revealing a ‘Muslim League‑Maoist’ label for the Congress party and criticized the party for adopting it.
