Christians did charity but also indulged in conversions: Ramdev

August 03, 2016 00:05

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has alleged that Christians did charity but also indulged in conversions while Hindus refrained from such practice.

"They do service -- run schools, colleges and hospitals, and with that they also convert. We do service including teaching yoga free of cost. But we have not changed anybody's religion but only their lives," he claimed while speaking at the inauguration of 8th Hindu Spiritual and Service Fair 2016 in Chennai on Tuesday.

He said people were often told to learn charity from Christians but lakhs of Hindu sadhus and charitable trusts were also offering such services.

He also rejected suggestions that Hinduism discriminated against anybody, especially the Dalits.
