Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat condemned the raking up of issues in the name of religion and said that insulting other cultures or deities is unacceptable. Criticising the trend of raising disputes and relating it to Ayodhya’s Ram temple, Bhagwat said, “Everyone should be able to practise their way of worshipping in this country.”
He said that the Ram temple was a matter of faith and Hindus had felt the necessity to build it, however, raising issues about new sites out of ‘hate and enmity’ is unacceptable.
