Mangaluru, November 25: “Till Rama Mandir is built, we would not have Achhe Din”, said Vishwa Hindu Parishad senior leader Sohan Singh Solanki.

Addressing the Janaagraha convention organized by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal at Nehru Maidan here on Sunday, he said that Ram Mandir construction was not possible due to the people of Babar mindset in the country. Even the Supreme Court also has not respected the feelings of crores of Hindus.

“We have our own government at the centre. But also the Ram Mandir is not yet constructed. But Tipu Jayanti is being celebrated in Karnataka. The people of Karnataka should celebrate Krishnadevaraya Jayanthi instead of Tipu Jayanti. Babar, Akbar were misfortune of this country. Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Rana Pratap Simha were the symbol of self-esteem of the country”, he said.

Those who were ruling the country in the name of Babri Masjid have lost the power. As the court has not allowed the Hindus to construct Ram Mandir, the central government should find ways to construct the Mandir. Last time, Ashok Singhal led the fight for constructing the Ram Mandir and this time, Pejawar swamiji would lead the fight, Solanki said.

MPs asked to bring in a law to build Ram Mandir

Lok Sabha Member Nalin Kumar Kateel was given a memorandum at the VHP meeting to construct Ram Mandir at Ayodhya.

After receiving the memorandum, Kateel said that Ram Mandir should be constructed at Ayodhya. He has not forgotten that he was elected as the MP with the responsibility of constructing the Ram Mandir. He would raise the issue in the Winter Session, he promised.

Sri Gurudevananda of Odiyur, Rajashekarananda Swamiji of Vajradehi Mutt, Sri Mahabala of Kaniyur, Muktananda Vidyananda Shri of Karinje Kshetra, VHP South Karnataka president Prof MB Puranik, Division head N Seetaram, Assistant secretary Krishnamurthy, Bajrang Dal regional coconvener Muralikrishna Hamsatadka, VHP Mangaluru division secretary Sharan Pumpwell, Mangaluru VHP president Jagadish Shenava, Working president Gopal Kuttal, Krishna Prasanna Puttur, Durga Vahini convener Vidya Mallya and others were present.
