Lord Ram forefather of Muslims too, says Pragya Thakur

On the matter of giving donations to the Ram temple by the minority society, Sadhvi Pragya said that if the Muslim society donates to the Ram temple, it is good since it is the land of Lord Rama and at some point, their ancestor was also Lord Ram. Due to some greed, they turned their religion to Islam.

Ujjain: Known for her inflammatory comments, Bhopal MP Sadhvi Pragya Thakur has once again stoked controversy by terming Congress troublemaker and alleging that the party has always insulted the nationalists.

Talking to reporters in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain, where the MP was there to attend the program of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is constructing the Ram temple in Ayodhya on their ancestors' behalf. It is also collecting funds for that in the name of religion and Lord Ram.

"Those who are pelting stones on the rallies out to collect funds for the temple should be punished and stringent laws should be made against them," said Thakur.

Adding on she said, "We aren't constructing anything illegally as the Congress did. I believe strict laws should be made against the stone-pelters, who are trying to spoil communal harmony throughout the country. If such laws aren't made, the disruptive powers will prevail in the country and the country will suffer."
