Responding to allegations that he was indulging in 'soft Hindutva' by visiting temples, Delhi Chief Minister (CM) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday, 7 November, said that he visited temples since he was a Hindu and added that no one should have an objection to it, PTI reported.
Kejriwal was speaking to reporters at the poll-bound Goa, where he is on a two-day visit.
"Do you go to the temple? I also go to the temple. There is nothing wrong in going to the temple. You feel peaceful when you visit it. What is their (those alleging soft Hindutva) objection? Why should there be any objection? I am going to a temple because I am a Hindu. My wife visits the Gaurishankar temple," he said.
