1992 could be repeated in Ayodhya during 'Dharam Sabha': BJP MLA Surendra Singh
Ballia (UP), Nov 23: Controversial BJP MLA Surendra Singh has warned that 1992 could be repeated in Ayodhya, if required, during a "Dharam Sabha" to be held November 25.
Taking part in a rally to mobilise people for the event, the BJP lawmaker told reporters Thursday that 5,000 people from his constituency, Bariya, would travel to participate in the "Dharam Sabha" where the issue of Ram temple's construction would be taken up by saffron outfits.
He said "law and order is not an issue as far as Lord Ram is concerned...he will take care of it".
Singh said if the need arose, they would take the law into their hands for the temple's construction, like it was done in 1992 for the demolition of Babri mosque.
The legislator asserted that Ram temple would be constructed under the Narendra Modi and Yogi Adityanath governments.
He had come under fire in April for calling West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee 'Surpanakha' and comparing opposition Congress to 'Ravana'.
In July, Singh had said that even Lord Rama cannot curb rapes, prompting Congress to dub him "insane" and fit for a mental asylum.

ED searches: Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah accuses Centre of targeting Cong leaders
Chamarajanagara (Karnataka) (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday accused the central government and its agencies of consistently targeting Congress members by using searches on their properties, and questioned why similar action is not taken against BJP leaders.
He was reacting to searches conducted by the Enforcement Directorate on Monday on several individuals, among them the sons of Karnataka Congress MLA N A Haris and the grandson of former Union Cabinet minister K Rahman Khan, in connection with a cryptocurrency-linked money laundering case.
"The central government always targets Congress leaders. Will they raid the houses of BJP leaders?" Siddaramaiah said in response to a question. More than a dozen premises in the city were searched as part of the operation carried out by the ED under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The premises searched comprised those of Mohammed Haris Nalapad and Omar Farook Nalapad, the sons of the MLA; Aqeeb Khan, the grandson of veteran Congress leader K Rahman Khan; and an alleged crypto hacker, Srikrishna Ramesh, alias Sriki, officials said.
The money laundering case stems from Karnataka Police FIRs and charge sheets filed in a 2017 case involving the hacking of national and international websites, theft of bitcoins, and the sale of these stolen virtual digital assets (VDAs) through crypto platforms by the alleged hacker Sriki and his associates.
Mohammed Haris Nalapad, Omar Farook Nalapad, and Aqeeb Khan are alleged to be beneficiaries of the proceeds of crime generated through this crypto-linked activity, officials added.
