Senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar today condemned the recent assault on social activist Swami Agnivesh but said nobody has the right to hurt sentiments of others.
Agnivesh was beaten up at Pakur in Jharkhand on July 17 allegedly by members of BJP-affiliated youth groups who accused him of speaking against Hindus.
"It is wrong and condemnable. But nobody has the right to hurt others' sentiments in the name of freedom of expression," Kumar, an executive committee member of the RSS, told a press conference here.
He said there is need for a strong act against those who hurt religious faith.
Kumar was here to attend a programme of the Hindu Jagaran Manch.
On the mob lynching incidents in various parts of the country, Kumar said, "Any mob lynching incident is condemnable."
