Ram temple should be built at site of Babri Masjid: UP Guv
Ayodha, Dec 12 (IBNS): Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik has stirred a fresh controversy with his remark that a Ram temple should be built at the site of the demolished Babri Masjid in Ayodhya.
He termed his remark as the wish of the citizens of the country.
"Ram Mandir should be built as soon as possible. That is the wish of the Indian citizens and the wish should be fulfilled," Naik said during a convocation programme of Awadh University at Faizabad.
His remark has also been backed by the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) and the Shiv Sena.
"Everybody wants to get the Ram temple constructed at his (Ram) birth land. Having this wish is not wrong," BJP leader Vijay Bahadur told media.
There is nothing wrong in his statement. Naik was active during the Ram Mandir movement. Now we have chance to build a Ram temple, it is a national temple," RSS leader Sanjay Raut said.
