Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday, 20 September said that the Ram temple at Ayodhya should be built without delay and all sections of society should accept the “reality” of the issue, reported IANS.
Bhagwat was speaking at an event held to launch “Ayodhya Ka Chashmadeed” and “Yudh Me Ayodhya” books published by Prabhat Prakashan. The books written by journalist Hemant Sharma describe the major events of the Ramjanmabhoomi movement.
He said that justice should be delivered at the earliest.
“You can't delay it for too long. The society is supreme. There is a need to follow the path of truth and justice,” he added.
The case related to the construction of Ram temple is currently being heard in the Supreme Court. One of the main campaigners of the temple, Vishwa Hindu Parishad which is also affiliated to the RSS has been demanding that an ordinance should be brought in the parliament, if the problem cannot be solved through the legal course, reported Hindustan Times.
Speaking on the occasion, BJP chief Amit Shah said that Ramjanambhoomi movement was the biggest after Independence which brought the people together, reported IANS.
“There was a feeling among the people for decades that took the shape of a movement," he said.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that "Ayodhya is facing an exile for the past 500 years".
"In such a situation, all communities should come together to give the symbol of national reverence its due place."
Bhagwat had on Wednesday said that the Ram temple in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya should be built "at the earliest" which would remove a major cause of discord between the Hindus and Muslims, according to IANS.
