Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said the Supreme Court should pronounce its judgement in the Ram temple case as it had done on the matter of Sabarimala temple.
Describing the Ram temple issue as a matter of faith for the people of India, Yogi said the temple in Ayodhya assumes great significance in the hearts of the people. “If Supreme Court can give judgement in the Sabarimala case, it should also give its order in Ram temple case. I request the court to do so,” Adityanath said at the Ideas Conclave, organised by India Foundation.
At the same time, he clarified that for him and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) the construction of the Ram temple was not an electoral issue. His remarks assume significance as it comes at a time the Visva Hindu Parishad (VHP) has demanded that the Centre should bring a law in Parliament for the construction of the temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya.
