November 25, 2018 09:59
The temple town of Ayodhya is all set to witness the biggest congregation of Hindus on Sunday for the VHPs Dharma Sabha since December 6, 1992, when Kar Sevaks had razed the Babri Mosque.
Thousands of Hindu religious figures and their followers have descended on the city to crusade for the construction of a Ram temple on the ruins of a disputed 16th century mosque, as the authorities threw a tight security ring around the tense but calm holy city to deter troublemakers.
More than a lakh people are expected for the rally which will be held at the Bade Bhakt Mahal ground near Ram ghat. The meeting will start around 12 noon but the main speakers are likely to address the gathering between 2pm and 4pm. A senior functionary of the RSS might also attend the rally and address the gathering.
International vice-president of the VHP, Champat Rai has said that no politician will be allowed to share the main stage with seers and address the rally.
Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray had on Saturday demanded that the government should announce a date for the construction of the Ram temple raising the pitch for the building of the Ram Temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya.
