Encouraging call

Sir, — It is heartening to read that certain religious leaders have condemned the emerging cult of religious extremism. Their call to adhere to the Constitution is encouraging. Until now, one thought that the Vishwa Hindu Parishad had hijacked the religious voice. The "build temple" call is not a call of ordinary or religious Hindus. It is the call of some politically-motivated groups.
