Amid ongoing row over cattle slaughter ban, RSS leader Indresh Kumar has urged Muslims to give up 'ghost' saying, it was a disease.

The RSS leader made remarks while speaking at the event, even though the students of Jamia Millia Islamia staged a protest against the university for inviting Kumar for an Iftar party organised by RSS- affiliated Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM).

"Prophet and his family never consumed meat. They used to say meat is a disease and milk is a cure," reported ANI quoting Kumar.

Reports stated that Kumar also said the MRM made two other primary appeals to the Muslims of India saying, during Ramzan, they should plant trees in their localities and should keep Tulsi plant in their homes, because it’s called Rehan (Jannat ki Jhaad) in Arabia.

Meanwhile,  Imran Khan, a research scholar said that despite writing a memorandum to the Vice Chancellor Talat Ahmad against the move, Indresh visited the institution.

"He is prime accused in many blast cases. We do not want him in our institution and that is why we protested," he said.

Another student, Kabir Das, took to Facebook to register his protest saying, "Police and Army made Jamia premises look like a war-hit zone. Peaceful protesters were attacked by the cops. Six Jamia students have been detained by Delhi police without any reason."

"We gathered at main gate and offered namaz in front of fascist barricades after breaking Roza/fast. We are demanding release of our six brothers," Das said.

Khan too alleged that police resorted to lathicharge in which four students, including a female student, was injured.

However, the allegation was refuted by police officials.

"Nobody was detained and there was no lathicharge," police said.

The university officials, however, said the Bhopal Ground, where the Iftar party was organised, was rented out to Muslim Rashtriya Manch and the institution had no involvement in its affairs.

"The ground was rented out to MRM. And there was no involvement of students neither on MRM side nor among the protesters. All of them were locals," said an official from the varsity.
