RJD MLA Yadav on Thursday ignited a fresh row on Ramcharitmanas with his controversial comments during a discussion where he asked, "Was Hindutva not in danger when Ramcharitmanas was being written inside a mosque?"
This came months after another RJD leader Chandra Shekhar in January claimed that Ramcharitmanas spreads hatred in society as it says that lower sections of the society get "poisonous" if they become educated.
Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya had also alleged that in the Ramcharitmanas, which was composed by Tulsidas, there are words hurting the sentiments of the Dalit community. (ANI)
