In a statement that could add further fuel to the controversial Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi controversy, the Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on Monday said India will turn into Syria if the Ram temple issue is not resolved soon.
In an interview with a news channel, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said, "If Ram Mandir issue is not solved, we will have a Syria in India." While the spiritual guru later clarified his remark, he was slammed by leaders from different political parties, who called it 'provocative'. "Sri Sri Ravi Shankar should refrain from giving out such provocative statements,"
