Take Ram temple issue seriously, Sena tells BJP govt.

TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Two days after RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat pitched for early construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, the Shiv Sena Friday acknowledged his commitment, but questioned the commitments of the “politicians” towards the cause.

Attacking BJP chief Amit Shah, the Shiv Sena said he speaks with confidence about the Bharatiya Janata Party ruling the country for 50 years, but “refrains” from commenting on the issues of scrapping Article 370 of the Constitution, that gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir, and the Ram temple.

The BJP’s carping ally, in the editorial of its mouthpiece ‘Saamana’, asked the Narendra Modi government to take “seriously” the issue of constructing Ram temple in Ayodhya after Bhagwat’s comments.  The Uddhav Thackeray-led party, however, opined that the temple issue has been reduced only to a poll promise and therefore, has become a topic for ridiculing Hindutva.

“Ram Mandir should be built at the earliest,” he had said. “The position taken by the RSS chief on the issue of the (Ram) temple is of commitment. But has there left even an iota of that commitment in the inner hues of (among) politicians?” the Shiv Sena asked.
