Kash Patel Hearing: Why Trump's FBI pick supports Ram Mandir in Ayodhya

Patel accused Washington newspapers of only covering the past 50 years of history. He remarked to a leading daily in February 2024: “To bring things really up to date, the opening of Ram’s Temple, when PM Modi went there, all the Washington newspapers only covered the last 50 years of history. They forgot the 500 preceding years. Whether or not you are Hindu or Muslim, there was a Hindu temple there for one of the quintessential gods in the Hindu pantheon in 1500 that was toppled, and they have been trying to get it back for 500 years.”
