I am not spokesperson for Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, but I respect him: Sambit Patra

While the Ram Mandir issue is still pending in the Supreme Court, Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi today said that there is a very high possibility of the verdict coming out just before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

"Why is Sri Sri allowed to talk about Ram Mandir," asked Sanjay Nirupam and slammed the government for not taking action against him.

Asaduddin Owaisi concurred, "This is a functional democracy, who is he (Sri Sri) to say India will turn into Syria."
