Issue of dispute on Sarsanghchalak’s statement

H.H. Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohanji Bhagwat

Bhagalpur (Bihar) – ‘I did not say ‘Brahmin,’ I said ‘Pandit’. The one who is intelligent is called ‘Pandit’, clarified H.H. Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohanji Bhagwat on his statement with regard to Brahmins. He also said that instead of disputing on unessential topics, it would be good if the discussion had happened to be with regard to nation building.

A day after #RSS chief #MohanBhagwat landed in a controversy with his remarks on Pandits, Sunil Ambekar issued a clarification saying Mr. Bhagwat’s remarks have been misconstrued, and by ‘Pandits’ he had meant vidvaan (intellectuals).https://t.co/q1wIaZF2Gq
