He said the medical van and the dharma rath roaming in this region are awakening the people. He further said the VHP is building temples in the villages where there is no temple. Referring to history, he said if Prithviraj Chauhan had eliminated Mohammad Gauri in the first attempt and would not have pardoned him 16 times, Islam would not have spread in India so on.
