The Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, who is on a 2-day visit to Ayodhya to participate in Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s ‘Dharam Sabha’ on Sunday, prophesied that ‘Ram Mandir’ will be built at any cost, regardless of whether the Bharatiya Janata Party comes to power in 2019.
During a press meet on Saturday, Thackeray took a swipe at Modi government saying they should not play with sentiments of Hindus and quickly wake up from Kumbhakarna-like sleep and declare an official date when they will commence the construction of Ram Mandir, that’s in dispute for more than two decades.
So, to discuss the next actions to be taken in the direction of building Ram temple, VHP, Shiv Sena and other right wing groups organised Dharam Sabha. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat will also be attending this event. The massive rally is being attented by more than 3 lakh people and Uttar Pradesh govt has deployed 48 companies of armed forces and 15 companies of paramilitary forces to make sure no violence is taken place.
In view of accusations from Mayawati’s BSP, the Shiv Sena chief Uddhav said there is no hidden agenda behind his Ayodhya visit and plan to raise voice against Narendra Modi government over Ram Mandir issue. After visiting the Ram Lalla temple on Sunday, Uddhav demanded an explanation from government for the delay in construction of temple which was promised during 2014 Lok Sabha election campaigning.
While opposition parties like Congress and Mayawati’s BSP are alleging hidden agenda behind Shiv Sena’s move, the Muslim Law board said Muslims in UP are terrified ahead of Dharma Sabha on Sunday.
