The Congress Working Committee unanimously endorses the view of the Congress President Smt. Sonia Gandhi, in her speech on the anniversary of Swami Vivekananda where she said "India is secular primarily because Hinduism, both as a philosophy and as a way of life, has been based on what our ancients said "Ekam Satayam, Vipraha Bahudha Vadanti", Truth is one, the wise pursue it variously. Vivekananda expressed his personal faith with beautiful simplicity in a letter to Alasinga "Truth alone is my God; the entire world is my country".

In fact Hinduism is the most effective guarantor of secularism in India. This basic truth has been underlined on various occasions by Mahatma Gandhi and Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru.
