1/ Minority Rights
Boko Haram & ISIS: No place for minorities.
India: Minorities constitute about 19% population. India is the birthplace of many religion such as Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism etc. Version of Islam such as Ahmadiya movement & Sufism found home in India.

2/ Tolerance
Boko Haram & ISIS: Co-religionists who do not adhere to the specific endorsed version are persecuted too. Eg: Shia persecution
India: Hinduism is known for its diversity & tolerance. Every region has different manifestation. Yet they coexist peacefully.

3/ Free Speech
Boko Haram & ISIS: No right to free speech
India: Mr. Khurshid criticizes Hindutva, in a country ruled by its so-called adherents, gets criticized and then life goes on as usual.
Would it be possible had he been citizen of Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan?

Repeat offender
Salman Khurshid [in his book: At Home in India] on the 1984 Sikh genocide: "There was also a terrible satisfaction amongst Muslims, who had not completely forgotten the Partition’s unpleasant aftermath. Hindus and Sikhs were alike paying for their ‘sins’."

Criticized by his own party members & allies
Pic 1: Gulam Nabi Azad criticized Khurshid
Pic 2: Shiv Sena (ally of Congress in Maharashtra) condemns Khurshid

Conclusion
@salman7khurshid's statement equating #Hindutva with Boko Haram and ISIS is a sordid attempt to normalise horrendous crimes of Islamist terror groups.
This sets a highly dangerous precedent which could harm secular fabric of country.
Must be condemned !!
