Muslims can be offered another site to build a mosque, perhaps across the Saryu river, says VHP.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Wednesday made a renewed pitch for the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya and announced a seminar, to be held in January, on how to work toward a legal solution to the issue.
VHP leader Ashok Singhal, however, did not blame the Narendra Modi government for not making any move to construct the temple, despite a BJP majority government at the Centre.
“The Supreme Court has to pronounce its judgment on the matter, and the government too has to wait,” he said.
The VHP’s aim is to draw attention to the significant legal victories already in its kitty on the issue and how to move forward, he said.
