With the controversy over Rahul Gandhi's visit to Somnath temple and the BJP questioning his faith refusing to die, senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal hit back, attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for "quitting" Hinduism and "imbibing" Hindutva. He is not a real Hindu," Sibal, a former Union Law Minister, said today. Later in the day, the Somnath temple authorities also clarified that Rahul Gandhi did not sign the register maintained for non-Hindus. "'This is an inspiring place' - is what Rahul Gandhi wrote and he did so in the presence of our general manager Vijaysinh Chawda," Somnath temple trust's secretary PK Laheri told reporters. In the last two months, Rahul Gandhi has visited more than 15 temples during his multiple visits to poll-bound Gujarat, which will vote on December 9 and 14 for its next government.
