INDIA, December 20, 2024 (Hindustan Times): Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday expressed concern over the resurgence of several temple-mosque disputes in the country, PTI has reported. Bhagwat, while delivering a lecture on “India–The Vishwaguru” in Pune, said that some individuals, following the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, are under the impression that they can become “leaders of Hindus” by raking up such disputes and added that this is unacceptable. Advocating for an inclusive society, the RSS chief said the world needs to be shown that the country can live together in harmony. “Every day, a new matter (dispute) is being raked up. How can this be allowed? This cannot continue. India needs to show that we can live together,” he said without mentioning any particular site.

The RSS chief’s remarks come as several demands for surveys of mosques to unearth temples have found their way to courts in recent days. On December 12, the Supreme Court issued a nationwide directive restraining all courts from entertaining fresh suits or passing orders to survey mosques to determine whether temple structures lie beneath them. During his lecture on Thursday, Mohan Bhagwat said that some groups that came from outside brought with them staunchness and they want their old rule to return. “But now the country runs as per the Constitution. In this setup people choose their representatives, who run the government. The days of hegemony are gone,” he asserted, according to PTI.
