As Kash Patel never shied away from showing his Hindu heritage, here is what he said about Ayodhya Ram temple. Kash Patel's support for Ayodhya Ram temple Most of the foreign media outlets, especially in Washington presented last year's Ayodhya Ram temple consecration ceremonyt as a symbol of Hindu nationalism.
Criticising their coverage of Ayodhya Ram temple, Kash Patel told Hindustan Times in an interview that “all the Washington newspapers only covered the last 50 years of history and forgot the 500 preceeding 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,” Patel told HT's Prashant Jha in an interview last year. He also claimed how the coverage was a “disinformation campaign” harmful for India and PM Modi's position.
