A case has been filed against RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat in a court in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district over his remark that “pundits divided society for their own benefits”.
Sudhir Kumar Ojha, a senior lawyer of Muzaffarpur, said: “The statement of Mohan Bhagwat has hurt the sentiments of Pundits. Hence, I have filed a case under various sections of IPC demanding action against him. The next hearing of the case is scheduled on February 20.”
Mohan Bhagwat, during an event on Ravidas Jayanti in Mumbai, said: “The castes were created by Pundits and not God. God has made every human being equal but Pundits divided the society into castes for their own benefits.”
After Bahgwat’s remarks drew criticism, the Sangh clarified on Monday that with Pandits, Bhagwat meant intellectuals and not Brahmins.
Earlier In response to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s call to Muslims to let go of ‘boisterous rhetoric of supremacy,’ AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi said that there are enough Hindus who feel RSS’ boisterous rhetoric of supremacy, keeping aside how every minority feels in India.
Owaisi responded to the RSS chief’s views on a variety of issues, including hate against minorities in the country and the border dispute with China, in a series of tweets on Wednesday.
“Who is Mohan to give Muslims “permission” to live in India or follow our faith? We’re Indians because Allah willed it. How dare he put “conditions” on our citizenship? We’re not here to “adjust” our faith or please a bunch of alleged celibates in Nagpur,” he said.
