Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal criticised RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat over his remarks on diversity in the US.

New Delhi: Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal took a swipe at Mohan Bhagwat over his remarks on diversity in the US, saying he was left wondering whether it was Congress leader Rahul Gandhi or the Sangh chief speaking, and accused Bhagwat of taking a different stand when abroad. Sibal, who is a senior advocate, said, "You accept diversity abroad; you do not tolerate diversity at home. That's the reality of Hindutva. It is unfortunate, that has been the struggle since 2014 till now in this country." Referring to Bhagwat's remarks in the past that every person born in India is a Hindu, Sibal accused him of double-speak when abroad.
