"Muslim brothers should cooperate in this because their and Hindus' ancestors are one and both should not have any problem in coming together to build a temple for the ancestor. If a temple of Lord Rama, a symbol of faith for the crores is not built in India, will it be built in Pakistan?" he added.

Singh also could not stay away from the controversy surrounding filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali's movie, Padmavati.

Speaking on the movie he said, "Why do filmmakers repeatedly target Hindu community only? Why is the valour of Padmavati being played with to hurt the sentiments of crores of people? Does anyone have the courage to make such a disputed film on any other community? Hindu is liberal. That is why, everyone always target this (community) only."
