99% Muslims in India are converts from Hinduism: Baba Ramdev

New Delhi: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, sparks yet another controversy by saying that “99 per cent Muslims in India are converted”. In an interview to India Today TV Ramdev expressed his views over the Supreme Court’s verdict on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute case and the construction of Ram temple.

Ramdev said, “Not just to Hindus, Lord Ram is a revered figure even for Muslims. I believe that 99 per cent Muslims in India are converted.”

Ramdev said the Ram temple should be the most beautiful temple in the world. He opined that “What Vatican is to Catholics, Makkah is to Muslims and Golden Temple to Sikhs, Ayodhya is to Hindus.”

Urging both the parties to help each other in construction of Ram temple and a mosque, Ramdev said “Muslims should help in building a Ram temple. Hindus should also help Muslims build a new mosque.”

He expressed happiness over smooth functioning of law and order post Ayodhya verdict. He said, “Look at the situation now. No stone has been thrown at anyone ever since the verdict came out. This proves that India has moved ahead.”
