Ram Temple construction in my dream: Uma Bharti

November 04, 2018 12:25

Union Minister for Drinking Water and Sanitation Uma Bharti has advocated the construction of a Ram Temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya, and said she is ready to provide any assistance required from her end.

Calling the construction of the temple as her 'dream', Bharti told ANI, "I have actively participated in Ram Janambhoomi Andolan. Hearing of a case is also underway in connection with it on me and L K Advani Ji, and I am proud of it.

"The construction of Ram Temple is my dream and whatever initiative is required from my end I am ready for it."

Amidst demands for an ordinance to permit the construction of the temple before the Supreme Court pronounces its judgement in the Ayodhya title suit, Union Minister P P Chaudhary opined that a law can be made in case of judicial delay.

"Ram Mandir should be constructed, the case is in the Supreme Court and we want it to be decided quickly. I can't say about the government, but my personal opinion is that if there is a judicial delay then a law can be made," he said.

On October 29, the apex court had adjourned the hearing of the case until January 2019.

The court was hearing petitions challenging the Allahabad high court verdict of 2010, which stated that the disputed land in Ayodhya should be divided into three parts for each party - the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla. -- ANI
