Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray is scheduled to visit Ayodhya on November 25 as part of his party's push to build a Ram temple there.
The
Shiv
Sena Friday asked the BJP to come out with an ordinance and
declare a date for the construction of the Ram
temple in Ayodhya.
While
slamming the BJP, the Sena said those in power should be proud of
Shiv Sainiks who had "destroyed Babur's raj in Ram Janmabhoomi".
The Babri Masjid was built in Ayodhya n the orders of Mughal emperor
Babur.
In
an editorial in party mouthpiece 'Saamana', the Sena said it neither
moves around with a begging bowl asking for votes in the name of Lord
Ram nor does it indulge in "jumlebaazi" (rhetoric) during
polls.
Sena
chief Uddhav Thackeray is scheduled to visit Ayodhya on November 25
as part of his party's push to build a Ram temple there.
"Why
did those, who call themselves pro-Hindutva, start getting a stomach
ache when we announced our plans of going to Ayodhya? We are not
going there for political purposes," the Sena said in the
editorial.
It
claimed the party had not given the slogan "Chalo Ayodhya",
but Shiv Sainiks were going there for Lord Ram's darshan and also
because Ayodhya is "nobody's private place".
"There
is no Ram raj there now, but the raj of the Supreme Court. However,
in 1992, Balasaheb's Shiv Sainiks had destroyed Babur's raj in Ram
Janmabhoomi. Instead of being scared and jealous of such Sainiks,
those in power should be proud of them," the Sena editorial
claimed.
It
further said that instead of casting aspersions on the motive of
Sainiks going to Ayodhya, the government should declare a date for
the construction of the temple and put all suspicions to rest.
"We
ask you ask once again, why don't you declare a date for the
construction of the Ram temple? If the issue of Ram temple goes out
of your hands, in 2019, apart from your 'rozi-roti' (livelihood),
many people's tongues too will become handicapped," the
editorial warned.
"Instead
of doing everything to stop the Sena, we ask again, why don't you
come out with an ordinance and declare a date for the construction of
the temple," the editorial stated.
