Ayodhya to have only temple, says RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat at Udupi
He said the temple would be constructed in the same grandeur as it existed before, using the same stones .
Udupi: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday made a strong pitch for building the Ram Temple on the disputed site at Ayodhya, saying only the mandir would come up there and not any other structure.
Addressing the “Dharma Sansad”, a congregation of 2,000 Hindu saints, mutt heads and VHP leaders from across the country at this small temple town here, he said there should be no ambiguity that Ram Temple will be built at Ayodhya.
“We will construct it. It is not a populist declaration but a matter of our faith. It will not change,” Mr Bhagwat said.
The Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS) chief said that after years of efforts and sacrifice, it (building the Ram temple) seemed possible now, while also noting that the matter was in the court.
“Ram Mandir only will be constructed and nothing else. It will be constructed there only” (what is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Ram), Bhagwat said.
He said the temple would be constructed in the same grandeur as it existed before, using the “same stones” under the guidance of those who were the flag-bearers of the Ram movement for the last 25 years.
