Sarsanghchalak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said that talking about Hindu-Muslim unity was misleading as they were not different but one and people could not be differentiated on how they worship.
“When people speak about the need for Hindu-Muslim unity, we say we are already one,” Sarsanghchalak said on Sunday while speaking at an event organised by the Muslim Rashtriya Manch in Ghaziabad today. There is a need to guard against fear-mongering that the Sangh was against minorities or that Islam was in danger in India, he added.
Bhagwat said that development in the country was not possible without unity, the basis of which should be nationalism and the glory of ancestors. “We are in a democracy. There can’t be dominance of Hindus or Muslims. There can only be dominance of Indians,” he added.
If a Hindu says that no Muslim should live here, then the person is not Hindu. Cow is a holy animal but the people who are lynching others are going against Hindutva. Law should take its own course against them without any partiality, said Sarsanghchalak
He said that nationalism should be the basis of unity among the people of the country.
In the backdrop of instances of violence against minorities by alleged cow vigilantes, Bhagwat said that though cows are revered in India, violence in the name of cow protection cannot be condoned.
