"What Was Wrong In That?" Ramdev To NDTV After "Hindu Rashtra" Comment

Yoga guru Ramdev's comments on "Hindu nation" have sparked a political debate. Some Muslim leaders, including Congress leader Salman Khurshid and Samajwadi Party leader Fakhrul Hasan Chand, have criticised the comments. The imam of Lucknow has said "Muslims are not afraid".Now, in an interview with NDTV, he defended the comments and pushed back against critics. He pointed out there was nothing wrong in what he said."We are all children of the same ancestors. If you just say this much, nobody gets offended. I simply stated that we are all children of the same ancestors. We should be grateful to our ancestors, and our pure character should reflect theirs. What was wrong with this?" Ramdev told NDTV."The next thing I said is that no one needs to fear in the name of a Hindu nation. Since all our ancestors are one, our DNA is one.
