Congress today hit back at Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for his remarks -- that the ruling party wears the 'veil of secularism' each time it faces a crisis -- and said that this conduct is better than 'communalism'.

"The veil of secularism is much better than their (BJP's) communalism. Communalism divides the country," Congress general secretary Shakeel Ahmad said on micro-blogging site Twitter.
