TIL Desk/National/Prayagraj/ A congregation called by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Friday adopted a resolution saying the Hindus will not rest and also not leave others in peace until a grand temple is built at the birthplace of Lord Ram in Ayodhya.
The participants at the VHP’s ‘dharm sansad’, or the religious council held at the Kumbh Mela venue in Allahabad, criticised the ‘delay’ in the Supreme Court in deciding the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute. Some speakers also blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government. But the resolution adopted at the end of the two-day event praised the Centre government for filing a petition seeking the court’s permission to return the ‘surplus’ land adjacent to the disputed site.
It said the seers had ‘expectations’ from the Centre on the Ram temple issue and by filing the petition it had made clear its commitment. “There certainly has been a delay in the construction of the Ram temple, but we are sure that it will take meaningful steps in resolving the Ram temple and other issues related to Hindu pride,” the resolution said in Hindi.
Addressing the meeting earlier, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat said the temple issue is now at a ‘decisive stage’. “The Ram temple is on the verge of being built. So we must tread cautiously,” he said. He said those campaigning for the temple must not get diverted from their goal.
