Aurangabad, Feb. 9 (PTI): In a veiled attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling BJP, VHP international working president Pravin Togadia said here today that people voted the NDA to power for building Ram temple in Ayodhya, and not for making laws on triple talaq.
He also said the government should pass a legislation to pave the way for construction of the temple.
Togadia, who is on a two-day tour of Aurangabad and Parbhani, arrived in the city last evening.
“A law should be passed for the construction of Ram temple, so that it is built soon. Whether to make a law on triple talaq or not is up to the government, but they should make a law for Ram temple,” he added. He said the apex court once again adjourned the hearing on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute.
A Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra yesterday said it would hear the appeals in the Babri Masjid- Ram Janmabhoomi dispute on March 14. “Since long, the Hindu community has been waiting for the temple, hence it should be built,” Togadia said.
In view of the VHP leader’s visit, the city police have put in place tight security arrangements.
