New Delhi, Feb 25: Popular Front of India chairman E Abubacker has sought an explanation from Congress president Rahul Gandhi on the remarks made by AICC general secretary Harish Rawat on building Ram temple in Ayodhya.

Rawat has claimed that the Congress would try to build Ram temple in Ayodhya if the party is voted to power in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in the country.

“Such a controversial statement from a top leader of the largest secular party in the country is both shocking and disappointing. Since it is the second statement from Rawat, it cannot be viewed as a mistake.

It is still not clear whether the Congress would endorse or reject the remarks made by its general secretary”, he said reminding that if the Congress president chose to reject Harish Rawat, the nation would want to know what disciplinary action would be taken against Rawat for openly going against the party policy.
