Inspire people not to take extreme steps: PM to BJP workers
After a man set himself ablaze in front of a tent wherein a BJP leader was fasting to demand lifting of prohibitory orders at Sabarimala Temple, PM Narendra Modi asked BJP workers to inspire people "to avoid taking extreme steps". Calling it a "sad news", he added, "Lives are priceless." BJP has claimed the deceased was a Lord Ayyappa devotee.
