India belongs to everyone: RSS leader Indresh Kumar

Indresh Kumar said none of the religions or their messengers had ever taught hatred and animosity towards mankind, but it is “the reign of the devil” that makes people fight with each other as it runs parallel to “the reign of god” New Delhi: Against the backdrop of several incidents of clashes between two communities, RSS leader Indresh Kumar has given a call for unity and peace, saying India is a land of all major religions and it belongs to everyone. Addressing an event organised to mark Easter at west Delhi’s Rajouri Garden on Monday evening, he said none of the religions or their messengers had ever taught hatred and animosity towards mankind, but it is “the reign of the devil” that makes people fight with each other as it runs parallel to “the reign of god”. Those who will unite will win.” Noting that India is a land of all major religions, Kumar, a national executive member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, said, “This country belongs to everyone – Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Kashmiris, Malayalis, Chhattisgarhiyas, Odias, Bengalis, Assamese. God says, though I have different names and I am revered by varying methods of worship, I was one, I am one and I will remain one forever,” the RSS leader said, adding, “God is one, but we humans have created the divisions.” He said there is nothing wrong in showing respect to each other’s religion and their deities, and suggested that people should not even hesitate in participating in each other’s festivals and sharing the joy “if possible”.
