Ramdev said there could be sections averse to bringing a legislation for the construction of a temple in Ayodhya but there was no opposition to Ram in India
Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Saturday made a strong pitch for constructiong a Ram Temple in Ayodhya saying that a legislation should be brought in the Parliament if the Supreme Court does not deliver a verdict on the matter soon.
"If the apex court does not take a decision on the matter soon, then Parliament is the highest institution in a democracy and there is nothing wrong in bringing a legislation, he said.
Ramdev said there could be sections averse to bringing a legislation for the construction of a temple in Ayodhya but there was no opposition to Ram in India. "What else will be built in Ayodhya if not a Ram Temple", he stated.
Earlier on October 29, the apex court had declined an urgent hearing of the Ayodhya land dispute case. It said an "appropriate bench" will decide in January when to hear the politically-sensitive case, sparking demands for a law to begin construction of a Ram temple at the disputed site.
The Congress and Muslim groups have said they would want all stakeholders to wait for the apex court verdict, and not rush to resolve the issue through a legislation.
Fourteen appeals have been filed against a 2010 Allahabad High Court judgment that said the 2.77 acres of disputed land in Ayodhya be partitioned equally among three parties — the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla.
