Salman Khurshid Congress leader Salman Khurshid's Nainital house 'vandalized'
Nainital: Congress leader Salman Khurshid's residence in Nainital was allegedly vandalized by unknown people on Monday, amid controversy over his new book where he drew a parallel between Hindutva with radical jihadist groups like ISIS and Boko Haram.
Khurshid, who had earlier served as the union minister, earned criticism for his book.
The senior leader shared images and videos of his house on social media platforms and wrote: "I hoped to open these doors to my friends who have left this calling card. Am I still wrong to say this cannot be Hinduism?"

This is disgraceful. @salman7khurshid is a statesman who has done India proud in international forums &always articulated a moderate, centrist, inclusive vision of the country domestically. The mounting levels of intolerance in our politics should be denounced by those in power. https://t.co/OQFBoN1Pgw
