National Conference President Farooq Abdullah has again said on Thursday that Lord Ram is not only the God of Hindus but of the whole world. Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir has said these words in a program in Udhampur.
Abdullah said on Thursday, “I think when elections will be announced in Jammu and Kashmir, they will inaugurate the Ram temple to divert public attention, but Ram belongs to all.”
According to him, “Lord Ram is not only the God of Hindus. Get this out of your mind. Lord Ram is everyone’s God, be it Muslim, Christian, American, Russian. As we say that Allah is not only the Lord of Muslims, He is the Lord of all.
“A very old professor of Pakistan, Maulana Asrar, who has just passed away, says in his tafsir, “You people should remember that Lord Ram, who is there, is also sent by Allah to show people the right path.”
“Those who come to you saying we are only disciples of Ram – they are fools. They want to sell in the name of Ram. They do not have a love for Ram but for power,” he said.
On unity among non-BJP parties, he said, “There will be no hurdle in our unity. Whether it is Congress, NC, or Panthers. We will fight and die for people. But we all will remain united.” He raised questions about electronic voting machines and asked people to remain cautious about its use.
He also warned people against religious polarisation ahead of the election in the Union Territory. “They will use ‘Hindus are in danger’ a lot during the elections… but I request you to not fall prey to it.”
