Secularism is safe in India as it is in our DNA, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu said Saturday, however adding that aberrations must be condemned.
Speaking at the 64th national convention of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad here, he said, "Some people complain about secularism being in danger. Secularism is safe in India, not because of politicians, not because of the government, (but because) it is part of the DNA of all Indians.
"There will be certain aberrations here and there, certain instances may happen. Those instances should be condemned."
