There's no force that is more organized, and hence a bigger threat, than Hindutva.
2.) 'Humbly' suggesting and 'urging' the Muslim community to give up their 2 places of worship to Hindu community is akin to telling them - "Peacefully surrender, or else u have seen Ayodhya".cont
This suggestion is simply outrageous, illegal, based on complete faith on unquestionable superiority of one faith over another.
This suggestion conviniently ignores the existing 'Places of Worship Act'.
