Dharma Sansad: Pejawar seer, Mohan Bhagwat vow to build Ram Mandir in Babri land

Udupi, Nov 24: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and Paryaya Pejawar Mutt seer Vishwesha Thirtha Swami on Friday said that Ram Mandir will be constructed in the land were saffronists demolished Babri mosque in 1992. 

Addressing the gathering on the inaugural day of three-day Dharma Sansad, Mr Bhagwat said only the mandir would come up there and not any other structure.

"We will construct it. It is not a populist declaration but a matter of our faith. It will not change," Bhagwat said.

He said that after years of efforts and sacrifice, it (building the Ram temple) seemed possible now, while also noting that the matter was in the court.

He said the temple would be constructed in the same grandeur as it existed before, using the "same stones" under the guidance of those who were the flag-bearers of the Ram janmabhoomi movement for the last 25 years.

But prior to it (building the temple), public awareness was essential, he said. "We are close to achieving our goal but at this juncture, we should be extra cautious."

Speaking on the occasion Vishwesha Thirtha Swami said that the preparations are underway to build Ram Mandir in Ayodhya by next year.

He said, "Inequality and untouchability are two biggest internal enemies of Hindus. The Hindus themselves should find a solution to weed out the social evils from the religion."

Construction of Ram temple, prevention of religious conversions and cow protection are among the key issues to be discussed at the VHP's three-day 'Dharma Sansad'.

The meeting will also discuss issues of discrimination on the basis of caste and gender and explore ways to ensure harmony within Hindu society, the organisers said.
