Nagpur (Maha), Oct 18 (PTI) Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat Thursday said the government should clear the path for construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya through an appropriate and requisite law.

In his annual Vijayadashmi address, the last before the2019 Lok Sabha polls, he said the temple construction was necessary from the "self-esteem point of view" and it will also pave way for an atmosphere of goodwill and oneness.

The sangh has been associated with sentiments ofcrores of country men in the efforts for construction of amagnificent Ram temple at the birthplace of Lord Rama, who is the personification of life energy of the nation and icon ofupholding the dharma, Bhagwat said.

“The place of janmabhoomi is yet to be allocated for the construction of the temple although all kinds of evidence have affirmed that there was a temple at that place,” he said here

There is an obvious game plan of a few elements tostall the judgement by presenting various newer interventionsin the judicial process, he said, adding that it is nobody'sinterest to test the patience of society without any reason.

"The construction of the temple is necessary from theself-esteem point of view, it will also pave the way for anatmosphere of goodwill and oneness in the country," he said.

"This matter of national interest is being obstructedby some fundamentalist elements and forces that play communal politics for selfish gains. Politics is delaying theconstruction of Ram Mandir," he said.

Despite such machinations, the decision on ownershipof the land should be expedited and the government shouldclear the path for the construction of the "grand templethrough an appropriate and requisite law".
