TIL Desk/National/Hyderabad/ Urging Muslims not to get ‘trapped in the cycle of fear’ about Islam being in danger in India, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said those asking Muslims to leave the country cannot call themselves Hindus and those indulging in lynching people in the name of cows must know that they are against Hindutva.
He, however, said that there have been some ‘false cases’ of lynching at times that have been filed against some people. Addressing a book-release function in Ghaziabad, Bhagwat said the DNA of all Indians are the same. Asserting that it is not some image makeover or vote bank politics for the RSS to woo Muslims ahead of assembly elections, he said his organisation firmly believes that in a democracy like India, the only dominance can be of Indians, rather than of Hindus or Muslims.
Allaying fears that majoritarianism is on the rise in India, Bhagwat said, “If anyone says that Muslims should not stay in India, then he is not a Hindu.” When atrocities take place against minorities, voices of protest come from the majority itself, he said at an event ‘Hindustan First Hindustani Best’ organised by Muslim Rashtriya Manch.
