Vinay Katiyar
Bajrang Dal founder-president and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) member Vinay Katiyar has said the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya will start on or before 2018. Katiyar said the land solely belongs to Lord Ram and no one else.
"If any Muslim community has supported the building of the Ram Mandir, then it is welcome news and if more people come out in support of building the temple, I will be very happy," said Katiyar.
Talking about the construction of the temple, Katiyar said that it will be started soon. "It is not necessary that it will be constructed in 2018, the construction work can start before 2018," Katiyar said.
He further said that this is "Ram Janam Bhoomi" and there is nothing there except Ram. Earlier on 6 July, at least three trucks of red stones were brought for building the Ram temple in Ayodhya, under the supervision of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP).
The stones were unloaded at Ayodhya's Ramsevak Puram, the storehouse for Ram Mandir construction set up by the VHP. The carving of stones for the temple is being done under the supervision of an organisation of VHP, 'Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas' and saints.
In August this year, the Supreme Court had said that it will commence final hearing of the long-standing Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title dispute from 5 December.
The apex court, after an intense deliberation for more than one and a half hours on 12 August, reached a consensus on commencement of the hearing on a total of 13 appeals filed against the 2010 judgement of the Allahabad High Court in four civil suits.
The High Court had ruled a three-way division of the disputed 2.77 acre area at Ayodhya among the parties – the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and the Lord Ram Lalla. ANI
