Senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Indresh Kumar has said that Muslims consider Ram as one of their 1,24,000 prophets. Kumar, who was speaking about the Ram Mandir issue here on Thursday, also spoke about the benefits and divine status of cows.

Kumar, named an accused in the Ajmer Dargah blast by the National Investigation Agency in its chargesheet, was cleared of the charges by the agency in its closure report in April this year. The court, before accepting the NIA’s closure report expressed the desire to hear the complainant’s lawyer, who will now file an application for further investigation in the case.

While making a case for the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Kumar said that there is talk among Muslims that their ancestors were Hindus and Ram was one among their 1,24,000 prophets.

Kumar added that there is a movement among Muslims to donate money and bricks and even do kar seva (voluntary service) for the construction of the temple. In addition, he said that Muslims of Ayodhya never went to pray at the Babri Masjid as they knew that their prayers would never be accepted and would rather be a sin.

The RSS leader also said that cow sacrifice is a crime in Mecca Sharif and the Vatican too.

In every religion, cow’s meat has been equated with disease while cow’s milk has been considered synonymous with medicine and treatment.
