Ramdev lashes out at Varun for inflammatory speechesa

Lashing out at Varun Gandhi for his alleged hate-speeches, Yoga guru Ramdev on Tuesday said people who try to polarise society by raising irrelevant issues have no place in democracy.

"Some political parties and people try to divert the minds of common people from issues of national importance by raking up issues of caste or religion," Ramdev said.

"Such people and outfits that make issues out of caste, religion, region and language have no place in a democratic society," he said, when asked about his opinion on Varun Gandhi's alleged hate speeches in Pilibhit.
     
Varun was arrested on March 28 for his alleged anti-Muslim speeches during his campaign in Pilibhit earlier this month.
    
The UP government booked Varun under the tough National Security Act (NSA) for his inflammatory speeches.
    
Ramdev was speaking to reporters after announcing the "political agenda" for his 'Bharat Swabhiman Trust'.
