India Needs A Person Who Can Proudly Say I Am A Hindu: Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, while addressing a rally in poll-bound Karnataka's Belagavi, said that India needs a person today who can proudly say that he's a Hindu. 

In another statement, Sarma said, “During Aurangzeb's rule, attempt was made to end the 'Sanatan' culture and many people were forcefully converted to Islam. At that time Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj took birth and he showed that Bharat Mata can give birth to a son like him who can challenge Aurangzeb.”

"Aurangzeb was not able to destroy our 'Sanatan' culture. Today India is 'Sanatan' and Hindu and will continue to remain so... It was not true that Aurangzeb had captured the entire India," Sarma added.
