‘Print Lord Rama’s pic on Rs 500 notes,’ Raja Singh urges Modi

Goshamahal BJP MLA Raja Singh while addressing a public meeting in Sambhajipur, Maharashtra, recently claimed that countries like America, Thailand, Indonesia, and some European nations have images of Hindu gods and has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to feature Lord Ram instead on Rs 500 banknotes.

He said that “it is the demand of 100 crore Indians to have pictures of Lord Ram on Rs 500 banknotes.”

“Indonesia has 87% Muslim population. It still displays Hindu gods (lord Ganesha) on its 20,000 rupiah currency. India must do the same with Lord Rama’s image on the Rs. 500 note,” he said.
