Political conspiracy behind construction of Babri Masjid will broaden rift, says RSS chief

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat criticized a call to construct a Babri Masjid at Beldanga in West Bengal, stating that it would widen the rift between communities and was motivated by political gain. He also emphasized that the government should not build temples or religious places, citing examples of the construction of the Somnath Temple and the Ram Mandir. Bhagwat called for Hindu unity to bring about political change in West Bengal but stressed that his focus was on social change through the RSS. He also expressed concern over the safety of Hindus in Bangladesh and advocated for their protection.
