VHP rakes up Ram temple as Modi completes a year in office

May 25, 2015 20:04

On a day the Modi government completed its first year in office, VHP piled pressure on it to construct Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya by "clearing hurdles" in the path of its construction.

A delegation of saints would be formed to take up the matter with the government so the impediments are removed, a resolution passed on the first day of the two-day meeting of VHP's 'Kendriya Margdarshak Mandal' at Haridwar said.

A VHP spokesperson said its international working president Pravin Togadia and president Raghava Reddy are present in the meeting which has given a push to the Hindutva agenda by reiterating its exclusive claim over two other holy sites in Mathura and Varanasi.
