Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind President Maulana Arshad Madani has given a strong reaction opposing this statement of Bhagwat.

Madani further said, ‘The fire of hatred is being stoked in the country, an atmosphere of violence is being created. Incidents of lynching are taking place in broad daylight.

Peace, brotherhood and mutual harmony in this country are possible only under the shadow of the secular constitution.
