Yoga guru Ramdev said on Sunday, 18 November, that the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya is not a political issue, but a matter of the country’s pride. “I don’t see any resistance on the issue of temple construction,” he said.

He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should intervene to ensure that a bill is passed in Parliament

“It's time that we make the most of ‘the temple of democracy’ that is our Parliament. ‘Ram bhakt’ Modi Ji should gear up to resolve the matter that has been going on for about 200 years now.” Ramdev said, adding that: “It is only a matter of time... We will find a way out – either through the Supreme Court or through Parliament.”

“PM Modi should ensure that a bill on Ram temple is passed in Parliament, so that its construction is not delayed any further. All the efforts to resolve the differences on the issue have gone down the drain.”
