New Delhi, Aug. 29 (ANI): Rejecting allegations that she had endorsed Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat’s view that that all Indians are Hindus and their cultural identity is Hindutva, Minority Affairs Minister Najma Heptullah on Friday came out strongly against what she said was a ‘mistake by the reporter’ on her usage of the term ‘Hindu’ in an interview to a newspaper. Heptullah told ANI, “I had used the word ‘Hindi’, I did not use the word ‘Hindu’. Hindi is an Arabic word. We call all Indians Hindi.
