Muslims can 'imagine consequences' if they do not support Ram temple: India minister

Singh likens dispute to second-stage cancer

Indian Union Minister Giriraj Singh said on Sunday that "Muslims can well imagine the consequences" if they refused to support the building of a Ram temple, Times of India reported.



The minister made the statement while speaking to newsmen at a Baghpat presser. "Muslims are descendants of Lord Ram and not of Mughals, so they should support Ram Mandir. If they don't support the cause of Ram Mandir, they know well the Hindus will hate them. If this hatred increases then Muslims can well imagine the consequences."



"In this country, public participation is needed for every law. When this is done, the Ram Mandir issue as well as population control will have a proper law through which they can be dealt with. Right now, the issue of Ram Mandir is just like the second stage of cancer, which, if not treated now, will be incurable in the future," Singh said.
