Udupi: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat said only Ram Temple would be built at the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya, while addressing a gathering at the Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s (VHP) “Dharma Sansad” at Udupi on November 24.
“We will construct it. It is not a populist declaration but a matter of our faith. It will not change”, Bhagwat added,
Raking up the controversial Ayodhya matter, the RSS chief said, “The Ram temple will be built at the Ram Janmabhoomi and nothing else will be constructed on that land. It will be built using the same stones and under the leadership of people who fought for it for the last 20-25 years.”
He said that after years of efforts and sacrifice, the building of temple seemed possible now reminding that the matter was in the court. “We are close to achieving our goal but at this juncture, we should be extra cautious”, he added.
The RSS chief also said public awareness was essential for building the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
While delivering his speech at the two-day congregation, Bhagwat asked for a complete ban on cow slaughter.
“If there is no ban on gau hatya (cow slaughter), we cannot be in peace”, he reiterated.
