With the Supreme Court clearing the way for construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya, BJP leader Uma Bharti on Saturday hailed party veteran L K Advani''s role in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement as she welcomed the court's order.

"The court has given an unbiased yet, enlightened verdict. I went to Advaniji's house to touch his feet because it was because it was he who challenged pseudo-secularism and it is because of him that we have reached here today," she said.

The former Union minister, who was a key figure herself in the saffron agitation, said Advani''s devotion to temple cause is at the root of the BJP's success and it is coming back to power for another term.
