Khurshid’s home set on fire after book release

The Nainital home of Congress leader Salman Khurshid was vandalized and set on fire on Monday, days after his new book on Ayodhya sparked controversy by drawing a parallel between “Hindutva” and radical Islamist groups.

Visuals shared by Khurshid on Facebook show tall flames, charred doors, and shattered window panes at his Nainital home. Two men were seen trying to douse the fire by throwing water.
