BJP today distanced itself from the controversial comments of its Rajya Sabha MP Ram Jethmalani on Lord Ram and said the party does not agree with his views. Jethmalani had said yesterday, "Ram was a bad husband."

Asked about BJP's views on the issue, party spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said, "We believe in Ram. We do not agree with what Jethmalani has said." The spokesperson said these were the personal views of Jethmalani and did not reflect BJP's stand.

In today's s interview to Karan Thapar on CNN IBN, Jethmalani spoke on the controversy over his remarks on Lord Ram being a bad husband. He says he is not obliged to apologise to anyone and that Ram may not even be a historical figure.
