Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Wednesday said Hindus cannot wait “for eternity” for the court’s decision on Ram Temple and asserted that the only way forward is to enact a legislation for its construction.
The VHP’s comment came a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggested that any decision on an Ordinance on Ram temple can be taken only after the completion of the judicial process but stressed the government was ready to make all efforts to fulfil its responsibility.
The VHP, considering the overall situation, continues to be of the firm view that the Hindu society cannot be expected to wait for eternity for a court decision, VHP international working President Alok Kumar told reporters.
“The only appropriate way forward is to enact a legislation, clearing the way for the construction of a grand Ram temple at the Ram Janmabhoomi,” he added.
What Modi said
Modi’s comments on Tuesday came amidst heightened demands by Hindutava organisations, including the RSS, for an Ordinance for an early construction of the temple in Ayodhya.
