AYODHYA: Senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar said here on Thursday that Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath wears saffron turban , just like the last prophet of Islam. At an Eid Milan organised by the RSS affiliate Muslim Rashtriya Manch here, when he was asked about Yogi’s refusal to wear a skull camp offered to him at Kabir’s shrine in Maghar, convenor of Muslim Rashtriya Manch and senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar said "the last Prophet of Islam Hazrat Mohammad used to sport "zaafrani"-coloured turban which we call "Kesariya" (saffron) and Yogi ji wears the same saffron turban."

"Yogi ji wears saffron turban and he is on the path of the 'Rasool' (Prophet) and the maulanas and imams have left the path of Rasool, therefore, there is much misconception in the country about white skull caps," said Kumar, who is also the convener of Muslim Rashtriya Manch.

"According to Islam, there were one 1.24 lakh Prophets and among them one was Lord Rama. Just like the holiest places of Mecca and Medina, there is only one birth place of Lord Rama also. Therefore, Muslim community should support the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya."

Talking about the Rame Temple issue, Kumar said said that all stakeholders in Ayodhya Temple case should show restrain and patience, otherwise it could lead to communal riots.
