Dera Sacha Sauda sect head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh today favoured entry of women into religious places where it is banned.
"Male cannot exist without women, so why discriminate. A boy or girl are both borne by the mother in her womb. Why selectively disallow women," the Dera chief said.
He also took a dig on yoga guru Ramdev who had recently said he "slammed the gate on Colgate" and "doubled the turnover" on Patanjali products.
"It is a buyer-driven market. In the end the customer chooses what he uses and whom he slams the gate on," the Dera chief said.
