People voted you for Ram Mandir, not triple talaq law
Aurangabad: VHP international working President Pravin Togadia said on Saturday 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.
Mr 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.
"We have faith in the judiciary, but since the temple has not been built, a law should be passed in this regard so that it can be constructed without the mosque adjacent to it, since long, the Hindu community has been waiting for the temple, hence it should be built," Mr Togadia said.
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.

Ajit Pawar acknowledges dissatisfaction over portfolio allocation in Maharashtra Cabinet
Baramati: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar admitted on Sunday that some ministers are unhappy with the recently announced portfolio allocation. Speaking at an event in his constituency, he attributed the discontent to the large size of the state Cabinet and the limited number of portfolios available.
Pawar retained the Finance and Planning portfolio and announced that he would officially take charge on Monday. He assured that work on pending projects, stalled due to the model code of conduct during the November 20 Maharashtra Assembly elections, would resume shortly.
Highlighting the Cabinet composition, Pawar noted that six ministers hold the rank of minister of state, while the remaining 36 are cabinet ministers. "Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had to allocate portfolios to all ministers. Naturally, some are satisfied, while others are not," he remarked.
He also revealed that the Maharashtra legislature’s budget session is scheduled to begin on March 3, adding that he intends to collaborate with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in preparing the state budget.
The portfolio allocation saw Fadnavis retaining crucial departments such as Home, Energy, Law and Judiciary, General Administration, and Information and Publicity. Shinde was given Urban Development, Housing, and Public Works (Public Enterprises), while Pawar took charge of Finance, Planning, and State Excise.
Ministers have begun visiting their constituencies to address pending projects, Pawar said, reiterating that all pending works would be completed in due course.
