RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said a Hindu who believes Muslims should not live in India cannot call himself Hindu. He made the remarks at “One World: One Humanity,” an event held in New York to mark the centenary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS.

Bhagwat said there are no fundamental differences among people and that everyone has a right to respect and dignity. He said Hinduism believes in the unity of humanity and the dignity of all people, adding that truth and humanity remain one despite differences in religions and paths.

He also described diversity as a rule of nature that needs protection. Bhagwat said India’s tradition and culture include unity in diversity. The remarks were reported by The Times of India.
