Owaisi ridicules RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's remarks on Gyanvapi issue

Alleging that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh participated in the demolition of Babri Masjid "disrespecting" the Supreme Court and later defended the action saying it was necessary for "historic reasons", AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday questioned if the RSS would follow a similar method in the Gyanavapi issue. Reacting to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's speech on Thursday that the Gyanvapi dispute involves some issues of faith and the court's decision on it should be accepted by all, the Hyderabad MP in a series of tweets said forcible conversion was a lie and Bhagwat and his ilk cannot accept that people born in modern India are Indian citizens. It is irrelevant where their forefathers came from, or who they were, or what they did, Bhagwat said. "Bhagwat's incendiary speech on #Gyanvapi mustn't be ignored. He said an agitation for #Babri was necessary for historical reasons. In other words, RSS didn't respect SC & participated in demolition of masjid. Does this mean that ...

Hindu society is not antagonistic towards anyone: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Wednesday said Hindus are so competent that nobody has strength to stand against them even as he stressed that the community is not antagonistic towards anyone. He was addressing a gathering after attending the millennium birth anniversary celebrations of 11th century saint Sri Ramanujacharya. "Samarthya hamare paas aisa hai ki hamare saamane khade rahne ki takat kisi ki nahi hain (Hindus are so competent that nobody has strength to stand against us)," Bhagwat said, adding that the Hindu society is not antagonistic towards anyone. "We have sustained and thrived for centuries," he added. Those who tried to destroy Hindus for 1,000 years are now fighting among themselves world over. The only reason that some people have a fear is because they have forgotten who they are, he said. "They tried to eliminate us but it did not happen... Even today 'Sanatan' Dharmik life of Bharat can be seen here as it is. Despite so many atrocities, we have 'Matra Bhoomi' with

Void created by Lata Mangeshkar's death hard to put in words: RSS chief

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said the void created by the death of legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar was hard to be described in words. Mangeshkar (92) died at a hospital in Mumbai in the morning after multiple organ failure. Terming Mangeshkar as 'Ananddhan' who ruled the hearts of people with her melodious voice for eight decades, Bhagwat said, "The anguish and void that has come up not just in my heart but of every Indian with the death of Lata Didi is very hard to describe in words." Despite being a singer of international repute, she used to prepare and practice before singing any song, just as she would do when she was 13 years' old, he said. Bhagwat lauded her "tapasya" (devotion) towards her personal, family, social and professional life, and said her behaviour symbolising "suchita" (purity) and "sadhna" (meditation) was an example for everyone. "May the Almighty give us all and Mangeshkar family the strength to bear this loss. I personally and on behalf of the RSS pa
