Ram temple should be constructed without delay: Bhagwat
New Delhi, Sep 20 : Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Thursday that the Ram temple at Ayodhya should be built without delay and all sections of society should accept the "reality" of the issue.
Bhagwat was speaking at an event held to launch "Ayodhya Ka Chashmadeed" and "Yudh Me Ayodhya" books published by Prabhat Prakashan. The books written by journalist Hemant Sharma describe the major events of the Ramjanmabhoomi movement.
"It is a fact that the Ram Mandir was demolished... Everyone should accept this reality. Lord Ram is a symbol of our (Hindu) faith and if a proof has to be given of that, people will not accept it. The country wants to see the construction of Ram temple without delay. Once a temple is built, a big reason for mutual discord (between Hindus and Muslims) will disappear," Bhagwat said.
He said that justice should be delivered at the earliest.
"You can't delay it for too long. The society is supreme. There is a need to follow the path of truth and justice," he added.
Speaking on the occasion, BJP chief Amit Shah said that Ramjanambhoomi movement was the biggest after Independence which brought the people together.
"There was a feeling among the people for decades that took the shape of a movement," he said.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that "Ayodhya is facing an exile for the past 500 years".
"In such a situation, all communities should come together to give the symbol of national reverence its due place."
Bhagwat had on Wednesday said that the Ram temple in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya should be built "at the earliest" which would remove a major cause of discord between the Hindus and Muslims.

Put petty politics aside; it's not about one party, but India: Rahul on TMC's loss in polls
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday termed the BJP's victory in Bengal and Assam assembly polls a "theft" of the mandate, and a big step forward in the saffron party's mission to "destroy" Indian democracy.
Gandhi also came out in support of the TMC, which has been trounced by the BJP in the polls, and urged those gloating over the loss of Mamata Banerjee's party to put petty politics aside.
"Some in the Congress, and others, are gloating about TMC's loss.They need to understand this clearly - the theft of Assam and Bengal's mandate is a big step forward by the BJP in its mission to destroy Indian democracy," Gandhi said in a post on X.
"Put petty politics aside. This is not about one party or another. This is about India," he said in his post.
The BJP ousted Trinamool Congress from power in Bengal and captured power for the third time in a row in Assam in results of assembly polls declared on Monday.
