Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has, at a recent closed-door meeting in the national capital with representatives of the Muslim community, asked them to clear their stand on cow slaughter. He also questioned the use of terms such as ‘ kafir’ (non-believer) and ‘jihad’ (holy war) against Hindus and suggested that they be avoided.
The Muslim delegation, which had asked for the meeting in the wake of now-suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma’s comments on the Prophet, in turn apprised the RSS chief of the growing sense of fear in the community in recent times.
