Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said that a long cherished dream is now being fulfilled with the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, while calling the demolished Babri mosque a ‘symbol of slavery’.

In an apparent reference to the Babri Masjid, which was pulled down by “kar sevaks” in December 1992, Bhagwat said, “The symbol of slavery was demolished in Ayodhya but no damage was caused to any other mosque there. Kar sevaks did not riot anywhere.” He said this in an address after his three-day visit here.
