Consensus on Ayodhya difficult, but temple will be built: RSS

TIL Desk/National/Nagpur/ The RSS has said building a consensus on the Ayodhya dispute was not going to be easy, but stressed that a Ram Temple – “and nothing else” – would be constructed in the Uttar Pradesh town. RSS general secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi also stressed that the matter was sub judice.

“It is certain that the Ram Temple will be constructed at that place (Ayodhya) and nothing else can be built there, this is also decided, Mr Joshi told reporters here on the sidelines of the RSS’s all-important Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha meeting.

Confident of a favourable judgment from the Supreme Court on the matter, Mr Joshi said the construction of temple would begin after the court’s order and it would be built on the basis of its verdict on the ownership of land.

Replying to a question on spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravishankar’s efforts at developing consensus between the different parties on the issue, Mr Joshi said consensus building was not going to be easy. “We have always maintained that the temple should be constructed with mutual agreement but our experience tells us that building a consensus on this issue is not easy, Mr Joshi said.
