Amit Shah calls himself Hindu, but he is Jain: Congress

Surat, Dec 1: Taking BJP President Amit Shah head-on, Uttar Pradesh Congress Chief Raj Babbar on Friday trained his guns on him said Mr Shah 'calls himself a Hindu but he is a Jain'. 

Talking to reporters here, Mr Babbar said, 'Amit Shah calls himself a Hindu, but he is a Jain. As far as Rahul Gandhi is concerned, Shiv Bhakti is being practised in his home for a long time. Indira Gandhi used to wear rudraksha, which was only worn by those who worship Shiva.' Mr Babbar also spoke on Rahul Gandhi's 'non-Hindu' controversy and said, "As far as Rahul Gandhi is concerned, Shiv Bhakti is being practiced in his home since a long time." He also said, 'Religion is a matter of faith and belief but unfortunately the BJP is distributing the certificates.' After addressing a gathering in Narmada district’s Kewadia, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani who
himself is Jain, said, 'Mr Babbar’s comment is full of ill-informed. It is frustration of the Congress being losing the election. He has no knowledge that Mr Shah is a Hindu Bania.' UNI
