NCP leader Nawab Malik reacted Mohan Bhagwat's statement that the DNA of all the people living in India is one. Malik said,"If Bhagwat ji is changing his heart, we welcome him. If an organization that believes in the caste system wants to break the boundaries of religion, then it is a good thing."
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said that the DNA of all Indians is the same, irrespective of religion, even as he condemned lynching.
"We are one on the basis of our motherland. So there is no need to fight here. We are all descendants of common ancestors. All of us Indians have the same DNA. Whatever may be our religion," Bhagwat said.
Bhagwat said that the Sangh does not believe in the politics of votes. "We are in favour of the nation. We support those who are in favour of it. The work of connecting people cannot be done by politics. Politics is not a tool for this work, but is rather a weapon of destruction."
He was speaking at a function in Ghaziabad organised by the Muslim Rashtriya Manch on the theme 'Hindustani First, Hindustan First' for the release of a book titled - 'The Meeting of Minds: A Bridging Initiative' - written by Khwaja Iftikhar Ahmed.
He said all those involved in lynching are against Hindutava, Bhagwat said, "If a Hindu says that no Muslim should live here, then that person is not Hindu. The cow is a holy animal but the people who are lynching others are going against Hindutva. The law should take its own course against them without any partiality."
