Mohan Bhagwat's statement on Ram Temple obnoxious: Asaduddin Owaisi

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday hit back at Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat over its statement on Ram Temple and termed it ‘obnoxious’, which gives a message where the right-wing organisation is assuming itself to be the Supreme Court.

Irked AIMIM chief told ANI: “It is an obnoxious statement made by the RSS chief. It clearly gives a message that the RSS is assuming itself to be the Supreme Court”.

Owaisi’s statement comes hours after Bhagwat said only Ram Temple will be built at the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya and that it was ‘not a populist declaration but a matter of faith’.

“This is a delicate matter and RSS is playing with fire on this issue. I hope the apex court takes note of this devious design, being laid out by Sangh Parivar,” he said.
