Apart from this, in his statement to the media, 'This letter was an appeal. Whatever the intention of the people, who are accepting the FIR and accusing us this way, these things make no sense. It was a letter appealing to the Prime Minister. It was not a threat or any other thing that would disturb the peace or create enmity among communities".  It was written in the letter that, "Sadly, Jai Shri Ram" has become a provocative war today.
