New Delhi. After the statement given by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Hindu-Muslim unity, the discussion in political circles has intensified. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain has strongly supported this statement. He clearly said that some narrow-minded people believe that India can survive without Muslims, but in reality it is not so at all.
'Malicious propaganda against Sangh and BJP'
While talking to journalists in New Delhi, Shahnawaz Hussain said that Hindus and Muslims have always lived together in harmony in this country. According to him, neither the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh nor the Bharatiya Janata Party has ever thought that the two communities cannot live together. He alleged that for a long time, a lot of wrong and malicious propaganda has been carried out in the society regarding the ideology of Sangh and BJP.
The BJP leader stressed that this statement of the Sangh chief has sent a very positive message not only in the country but at the global level. India's inclusive image has become stronger across the world.
What did Mohan Bhagwat say?
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had expressed his views on social unity in very strong words during a global conference. He clearly said that a Hindu who believes that Muslims should be 'thrown out' from India cannot be a true Hindu. His statement is being seen as a message to strengthen the social fabric of the country.
Opposition reaction and political rhetoric
After Bhagwat's statement, reactions are continuously coming from the opposition leaders also. Many opposition parties took a dig at the RSS chief's statement and said that just giving speeches will not help, but this thinking will have to be implemented on the ground. However, this latest stand of the BJP spokesperson has made it clear that the party is putting forward the statement of the Sangh chief as a big agenda of social harmony.
