NEW DELHI: The Ajmer Dargah‘s spiritual head Syed Zainul Abedin Ali Khan on Saturday praised RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s advice against raising new temple disputes. He asserted that if people adopt what Mohan Bhagwat said then it would foster national unity and progress.
“RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s statement is correct. Even in 2022, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat gave a statement that we should not look for Shivling under every mosque. We should adopt what the RSS chief has said is commendable. If we adopt this we will be united in front of the world and our country will develop,” said the Ajmer Dargah’s spiritual head.
On December 20, the RSS chief advocated for national harmony, warning against raising divisive issues that create enmity, while acknowledging the Ram Temple in Ayodhya’s significance in Hindu devotion.
Bhagwat’s remark came after the recent clases over the Jama Masjid survey in Sambhal led to four casualties in November. Additionally, a Rajasthan court’s acceptance of Hindu Sena‘s petition regarding Ajmer Sharif Dargah has raised concerns about religious site disputes.
At the Hindu Sewa Mahotsav inauguration in Pune on Thursday, Bhagwat said, “Coming to the question of devotion. There should be a Ram temple, and it indeed happened. That is a site for the devotion of Hindus.”
He advised against creating new conflicts, saying “But raking up new issues every day for disdain and enmity should not be done. What is the solution here? We should show the world that we can live in harmony, so we should have a little experiment in our country.”
Acknowledging India’s cultural diversity, Bhagwat naid, “We have ideologies of different sects and communities in our country.”
