Forty Hindu sadhus will meet in New Delhi next month to discuss the strategy for construction of Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya. The meeting of Ram Janmabhoomi Nirman Uch Adhikaar Samiti, chaired by Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, the president of Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas Trust, will witness the participation of a committee of Hindu seers in the national capital.
The meeting will be organised a fortnight before Pravin Togadia, former VHP leader, takes out a Lucknow-Ayodhya march for constructing a temple at the site.
Commenting on the plans of the meet, VHP spokesperson Sharad Sharma said, “the construction of Ram temple is a matter of belief for crores of Hindus. So, this meeting of 40 top Hindu seers has been called to remove the hurdles coming in the way of the construction Ram Mandir."
At Aligarh, Mahant Das said, "All Hindu seers are expecting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to start the construction of Ram temple during his regime. Ram bhakts are disappointed and this disappointment can be removed only after the construction of Ram Mandir."
"If the BJP does not come forward for the construction of Ram temple then it will be finished in next elections," Das added.
Chief priest of Ram Janmabhoomi temple Acharya Satyendra Das said, “the union government is fooling the Hindus. If it can amend the Supreme Court order on the SC/ST Act by bringing a resolution in the parliament, why the Modi government is not making law in the parliament for Ram temple? All Sadhus and Hindu seers must oppose this 'anti-Rama' government unitedly and teach it a lesson in 2019 elections.”
"Whatever the seers will decide, the government will think seriously on it,” said Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya when questioned about the scheduled meeting.
