‘Lord Ram ancestor of both Hindus, Muslims’

NADIAD: Yoga guru Ramdev appears to have stirred a possible controversy by claiming that Lord Ram was an ancestor of not only Hindus but also Muslims. On the sidelines of a yoga event in Nadiad, Gujarat, on Friday, Ramdev told media persons, “The Ram Temple must be constructed. If not in Ayodhya will Ram Temple be built in Mecca-medina or the Vatican city? It is an undisputed truth Ayodhya is the birthplace of Lord Ram and Ram is not only the ancestor of Hindus but also Muslims. This is not a political issue and nor a vote bank.” On this, AIMIM Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday said Muslims in India are Muslim by their own choice.
