Making India a Hindu Rashtra means destroying the nation, says Bihar CM

Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday slammed those who demanded a Hindu Rashtra by saying that one who wants a Hindu Rashtra wants to destroy the country. Speaking to the media, the Bihar Chief Minister took a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party and said, "Those who talk of making India a Hindu Rahtra want to destroy the country."

While responding to the queries of journalists, Kumar said, "People of all religions live in this country. If someone speaks something about this country, then it has no value. We should not listen to those who speak against Mahatma Gandhi. "There is an attempt to destroy the country. It is not possible to create a Hindu nation. Mahatma Gandhi spoke about this long ago. Hence, he was assassinated. We still follow the path shown by Mahatma Gandhi," the Chief Minister reminded.
