VHP to raise money from public for Ram mandir

November 09, 2019 20:39

A senior Vishva Hindu Parishad leader on Saturday said the Supreme Court-mandated board of trustees will be set up on the lines of Gujarat's Somnath Trust, and the Ram temple in Ayodhya will be constructed with funds donated by the devotees.

Speaking to ANI, a senior functionary of the VHP, while explaining how the temple would be constructed, said Sardar Patel's model of Somnath temple would act as an example of how the temple would be constructed.

"As it has been clarified that the government is not incurring expenditure to build the temple, we will ask the people to donate for the temple's construction. And I can assure you, if we go to the people for donations, there would be so many that we would be overwhelmed with the response," said the VHP functionary, who did not wish to be identified.
