‘Why look for a ‘shivling’ in every masjid’: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat amid Gyanvapi mosque row

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat told the gathering in Nagpur that “Hindus don't think against Muslims. Ancestors of today's Muslims were Hindus too. It was done to keep them forever devoid of independence and suppress morale. So Hindus feel they (religious places) should be restored.”

NAGPUR: Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday called for a "path through mutual agreement" amid the ongoing controversy over the videography survey of the Gyanvapi mosque in Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi.

Addressing an event in Nagpur, the RSS chief said, "We had special devotion towards some places and we spoke about them but we shouldn't bring out a new matter daily. Why should we escalate the dispute? We have devotion towards Gyanvapi and doing something as per that, it's alright. But why look for a Shivling in every masjid."
