TIL Desk/National/Nagpur/ RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said the Gyanvapi dispute involves some issues of faith and the court’s decision on it should be accepted by all, but also there was no need to find a ‘Shiv Ling’ in every mosque and start a new dispute every day.
Addressing the concluding ceremony of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s third year officer training camp here, he said that the RSS had already made it clear that its participation in the Ayodhya agitation was an exception and it would not undertake such agitations in future.
“Now the issue of Gyanvapi mosque (in Varanasi) is going on. There is history, which we cannot change. That history is not made by us, nor by today’s Hindus or Muslims. It happened at the time when Islam came to India with invaders. During the invasion, temples were destroyed to weaken the fortitude of the people wanting freedom. There are thousands of such temples,” he said.
But the Sangh did not want to say anything on this issue, Bhagwat said, adding, “We had said what we had to say on November 9 that there was Ram Janmabhoomi agitation. We joined in it, though it was against our nature, due to some historical reasons, and due to the situation at that time. We completed that work and now we do not want to pursue any more agitations.”
