Hindustan is one, irrespective of caste: Naidu on conversion row

December 11, 2014 18:22

Senior BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu addressed the parliament on the Agra reconversion row, saying that it was an important issue which is agitating the entire nation and defended the government.

"Some people are behaving as if the government is responsible for these conversions. It is a national challenge; it is not happening only today, it has been happening for a long time. And the government has just come to power. Some people are trying to use this to just accuse our government," Naidu told the Lok Sabha.

Naidu also responded to allegations that the Modi government was promoting communalism.
