RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and other senior RSS functionaries had met Umar Ahmed Ilyasi at a mosque in New Delhi. The meeting took place at Kasturba Gandhi Marg and lasted for over an hour. Ilyasi said that ever since Mohan Bhagwat has come to our mosque, I am constantly getting threatening calls. I got a threatening call from England on 23rd September that now you will burn in the fire of Hell. "I called Mohan Bhagwat in the mosque and called him 'Father of the Nation' and 'Rashtra Rishi', so I am being threatened. Some fundamentalists do not like peace, love or peace in the country, these are the same people. He said that he would not bow down to these threats.
