“The Government has set in motion the process of questioning religious beliefs. We will launch a nationwide movement if it does not withdraw immediately this blasphemous submission questioning the very existence of Lord Ram,” Rajnath Singh, the BJP president, said.

Another thing - I don't believe there is any such notion as "blasphemy" in Hinduism. There is no single holy book or religious authority that can claim to speak for all Hindus, not even the Bhagavad Gita - accordingly, there is no one to rule about something being blasphemous, including the president of some political party.

The gentleman in question is the leader of the opposition and former Prime Minister.
