Muslim governor in India bows before Hindu deity at Ram Temple

 



Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan visited the newly-built Ram Temple on Wednesday and bowed in reverence before the Hindu deity, the Times of India reported. "I came to Ayodhya twice in January. The feeling at that time is the same even today. I have come to Ayodhya many times. It is not just a matter of happiness for us, instead it is a matter of pride, that coming to Ayodhya and worshipping Shriram," the governor told reporters. In a video posted on the official X handle of the Kerala Governor showing Mr Khan bowing before the idol of Ram Lalla. The chant 'Jai Shree Ram' could be heard in the background. In the January of last year, Khan claimed that Sir Syed Ahmed Khan had appealed to the people to refer to him as a Hindu. At an event organised by the Kerela Hindus of North America (KHNA) in Thiruvananthapuran, the governor expressed his grievances, "Why don’t you call me a Hindu? I don’t consider Hindu a religious term, Hindu is a geographical term." Khan claimed that Sir Syed Ahmed Khan had appealed to the people to refer to him as a Hindu to lend credence to his assertion.
