RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Gyanvapi: why look for Shivling in every mosque?

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has said that the Sangh fountainhead was not in favour of launching any other movements amid a row over Gyanvapi mosque.

Bhagwat questioned what he called the need to “look for a Shivling in every mosque.

“Hindus are not opposed to Muslims. The ancestors of Muslims were Hindus. Many feel that what was done (the demolition of temples) was done to break the morale of Hindus. A section of Hindus now feel that these temples need to be reconstructed,” he said.
