Patanjali Ayurved's co-founder Ramdev voiced strong condemnation against the recent vandalism at a Hindu temple in California, identifying the incident as another case of 'religious terrorism'. The Hindu temple in question, Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Chino Hills, was defaced with anti-India graffiti, igniting calls from India for enhanced security and stringent action against those responsible.

Ramdev, speaking alongside an event inauguration, remarked on the global issue of 'religious terrorism' affecting the diaspora in Europe, America, and Britain. He urged world leaders to unite against such ideologies and highlighted Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as a more befitting national hero than the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, whom he accused of barbarity.

He warned of the potential for global conflict amidst these policies, calling for India's empowerment to resist such pressures and safeguard global peace.
