New Delhi, May 09: Congress today sought to
disapprove of the demand made by senior party leader Vasant
Sathe for declaration of Bharat as Hindustan in order to
establish "Hindu Rashtra".
"These are his personal views. We do not share his views
at all. They are completely at variance with those of the
Congress party", party spokesmans Jaipal Reddy told
reporters.
When repeatedly asked what action the party intended to
take against Sathe, he merely said "we have taken note of your
demand".
Sathe had made the demand at a book release function
last week at which Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the
chief guest. Present at the function were RSS chief K S Sudershan and Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani.
