'ram Mandir Should Be Built In Ayodhya; Hindus Are Running Out Of Patience': Bjp, Vhp, Bajrang Dal Leaders React To Supreme Court Order

The Supreme Court has adjourned till January the hearing of a clutch of pleas challenging the Allahabad High Court's 2010 judgment that ruled that the disputed land on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid site in Ayodhya be divided into three parts. In one of the first reactions from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Uttar Pradesh deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said, "I don't want to comment since it's the decision of Supreme Court. However, the adjournment of the hearing doesn't send a good message."

Meanwhile, Union minister Giriraj Singh remarked that "Hindus are running out of patience on the Ram temple issue." "The Congress has decided to make it a Hindu-Muslim issue. Shri Ram is the cornerstone of faith of the Hindus. Hindus are running out of patience. I fear what will happen if Hindus lose out of patience…," he said.

Whereas, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, mentioning that the BJP does not link the Ram temple with elections, said that the court had given its order earlier also, "now one party has moved the Supreme Court again. A lot of people want an early hearing. That is all I have to say."

Another BJP leader Sanjeev Balyan reacted to the apex court order, he said, "I am amazed at the priority list of the Supreme Court. I am of the opinion that Ram temple should be built. Let the government look at all possibilities. Just having an Ordinance is not enough."

Working president of Vishwa Hindu Parishad Alok Kumar said that the Hindus cannot wait eternally for a court judgement on the Ayodhya land dispute case and asked the government to bring a law for building a Ram temple.

"The Supreme Court has once again adjourned the hearing. This fortifies the VHP's stand that the solution to the Ram Janambhoomi issue is not in eternally waiting for hearing of appeals pending for over seven years. We reiterate our request to the Union government to enact a law to clear the way for building a grand temple of Lord Ram at his birthplace in Ayodhya," Kumar told PTI.
