The threat came days after Mohan Bhagwat, the chief of RSS during a ceremony held in Nagpur city of Maharashtra, called for communal harmony to be maintained in the country.
He was addressing during a ceremony related to the third anniversary of Sangh Shiksha Varg (RSS officers’ training group).
Bhagwat said: “If they (referring to Muslims) want to come back then we would welcome them with open arms. Even if they do not come back, it does not matter, we already have 33 crore (330 million) deities, more will be added….everyone is following their religion.” “Everyone should understand and respect the sentiments of each other. There should be no extremism in the heart, in words or in work. There should not be words of intimidation from either side (Hindus or Muslims)".
