Varun Gandhi plays Hindutva card

INDIAN ELECTION NEWS: Varun Gandhi sings a different song. A day after the Election Commission filed a case against Varun Gandhi for his communal remarks, he said that he is the victim of a political conspiracy. Varun mentioned that he is well aware of his roots as a proud Gandhi, an Indian and is also a Hindu in equal measure.

Briefing to the media Varun Gandhi said that there was an effort to malign his faith. He told to the press that anyone attempting to identify with Hinduism was inevitably branded communal.

In his own words: "I am a victim of political conspiracy." Varun Gandhi, son of sitting Pilibhit MP and former central minister Maneka Gandhi said this on tuesday.

Gandhi added, "Nothing I have said was to incite anybody. There is a rigorous attempt to malign my faith," he said, adding "each time anyone tries to identify with Hindusim, he is being branded communal."
