Final decision on Ram temple to be taken by Sadhus at Dharma Sansad: VHP

Udupi, Dec 26: The final decision on the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya would be taken by the sadhus and sants at the Dharma Sansad to be held on January 31 and February 1 in 2019 at Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh, according to a senior leader of Vishwa Hindu Parishad.

Speaking at a meeting here Keshav Hegde, Organising Secretary, South Central Zone of VHP, said that the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya was based on the devotion and religious belief of the Hindus.

This would also be an important issue in the 2019 parliamentary elections. The political parties which neglect this issue would face its consequences, Mr. Hegde said. Already, more than 500 Janagraha meetings seeking the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya had been held in different parts of the country.

The Janagraha meetings had sought Parliament to bring out a law in the matter, he said.

The sadhus and sants had decided not to rest till the issues of Mathura Krishna and Kasi Viswanath were resolved, he added.

It was only through self-respect and awareness that Hindu society could see Ram Rajya and the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Mr. Hegde said.

Sunil K.R., convener of Bajrang Dal, Suprabha Acharya, Narayan Maniyani, Pramod Mandarti, office-bearers of the district unit of the VHP, were among those present.
