Bhopal, Dec 12 (PTI) Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale on Monday said along with Lord Ram, "roti" which means industries, wealth and employment was also needed in the country as both represent Indian culture.
He also said it was people"s wish to see a grand temple dedicated to Lord Ram come up in Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh.
The RSS leader was addressing a gathering here after opening 16 "employment generation" centres of the Sangh set up in their Madhya Bharat Prant (central India).
RSS"s Madhya Kshetra consists of Madhya Bharat, Malwa, Mahakoshal and Chhattisgarh prant.
“For the country"s pride and culture, there was a common feeling and wish of the countrymen that a temple (dedicated to Lord Ram) should be built in Ayodhya.
Temples are in every lane, but why the people of the country still aspired for a Ram Temple (in Ayodhya)? Because that was the feeling connected to Indian culture,” he added.
“This brings out the sentiment that along with Lord Ram, people need roti, too.
Lord Ram and "roti" together represent Indian culture.
Roti means industries, wealth, employment to people and a self-dependent life," Hosabale said.
He blasted businessmen who have cheated Indian banks of crores of rupees and fled the country, saying officials have done precious little to catch them.
“Many people have caused enormous losses running in crores of rupees.
You are doing nothing to (catch) them.
