RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat visited a mosque and a madrassa in Delhi (Source: ANI)Taking forward his outreach to the Muslim community, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday visited a mosque and a madrassa here and held discussions with the chief of the All India Imam Organisation who termed him ‘rashtra pita’.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ‘sarsangchalak’ went to a mosque in central Delhi’s Kasturba Gandhi Marg and followed it up with a visit to the Madarsa Tajweedul Quran in Azadpur in north Delhi.
This is the first time he has visited a madrassa, an RSS official accompanying him said. All India Imam Organisation chief Umer Ahmed Ilyasi used the ‘rashtra pita’ descriptive for Bhagwat while talking to children at the madrassa.
However, Bhagwat intervened to say there is only one father of the nation and said everyone is ‘Bharat ki santan’ (child of the nation), according to the RSS official.
He said the RSS chief also spoke to the children about the need to know more about the nation and stressed that while the modes of worship could be different, all religions must be respected.
