Hindu religion has solution to all problems in the world: Amit Shah

June 29, 2015 10:02

Addressing audience at a book launch in Ahmedabad, BJP chief Amit Shah on yesterday said that "Hindu religion has solutions for all problems in the world".

"I am not saying this because I am born Hindu," Shah said while unveiling former President A P J Abdul Kalam's book 'Transcendence: My Spiritual Experiences with Pramukh Swamiji' at the Gujarat University convention.

"When I faced difficulty for two years, I visited each and every religious centre in India. In that period, I sought blessings from all the 'jyotirlings' and 'shaktipeeths' of India, except Somnath temple (in Gujarat)," Shah said referring to the two years that he was barred from entering Gujarat due to legal proceedings in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter case.

Shah was acquitted in the Sohrabuddin encounter case in December last year by a Mumbai court.
