With general elections around the corner, BJP National President Amit Shah once again raked-up Ram Mandir issue and asked ‘Mahagathbandhan’ leaders to clarify if they support construction of temple in Ayodhya or not.
While addressing a party workers’ rally at Budha Talab indoor stadium, Raipur on Thursday evening, Shah opined that after the air cross-Loc air strike, the Indian borders were safer.
Referring to past incidents when heads of Indian soldiers were chopped, he said BJP government after Uri attack did surgical strike and after Pulwama attack blew up terrorist camps in Pakistan.
“After this incident (air strike) a strong signal went across globe that one cannot play with boundaries of India,” he said.
Revisiting the disputed Ram Mandir issue he said- “Bhartiya Janta Party is committed to build Ram Mandir in Ayodhya,” and alleged that advocates inclined towards Congress party ideology are delaying the case in court.
“Mahagathbandhan leaders should make it clear that whether they support the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya or not,” Shah said while adding that Rahul Gandhi will also not reply to such questions but will look for a way to increase the dates in this case.
