Strongly advocating the need for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said that it was necessary from the “self-esteem point of view”.
Delivering his annual Vijayadashmi speech at RSS headquarters in Nagpur, Mohan Bhagwat said that the construction of Ram temple will also pave way for an atmosphere of goodwill and oneness in the country.
Alleging that an obvious game plan was on under which a few elements were trying to stall theSC judgement in this case by presenting various newer Interventions in the judicial process, the RSS chief asked the Modi government to bring an “appropriate and requisite law” for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Terming Lord Rama as the personification of life energy of the nation and an icon of upholding the dharma, Bhagwat said that the RSS has been associated with sentiments of crores of country men in the efforts for construction of a magnificent temple at his birthplace.
“The place of janmabhoomi is yet to be allocated for the construction of the temple although all kinds of evidence have affirmed that there was a temple at that place… There is an obvious game plan of a few elements to stall the judgement by presenting various newer Interventions in the judicial process,” he said.
Warning against testing the patience of the society without any reason in this matter, the RSS chief said, “The construction of the temple is necessary from the self-esteem point of view, it will also pave the way for an atmosphere of goodwill and oneness in the country.”
“This matter of national interest is being obstructed by some fundamentalist elements and forces that play communal politics for selfish gains. Politics is delaying the construction of Ram Mandir,” he said.
“Despite such machinations, the decision on ownership of the land should be expedited and the government should clear the path for the construction of the grand temple through an appropriate and requisite law,” he added.
