Hubli: Congress has No guts to Oppose Ram Mandir - Vishweshateertha Swamiji
Daijiworld Media Network - Hubli (SP)
Hubli, Apr 21: "Any party including the BJP will require an absolute majority in Lok Sabha to be able to build Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. The temple can be built once the parliament passes a legislation to that affect," explained Pejawar Mutt head Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji.
Speaking to reporters on his visit to the city for inaugurating the new block constructed in Vivekananda Hospital here on Monday April 20, the Swamiji said that the BJP faces some stumbling blocks from its alliance partners in the coalition scenario. At the same time, it has not shelved the project. Construction of Ram Mandir is included in its manifesto, he pointed out.
"A political party willing to build the temple will not find it hard to pass the legislation if it has a majority. Even the Congress party does not have the guts to oppose the temple construction," he felt. At the same time, the Swamiji said the people are now awaiting the court verdict on this issue.
He felt, there is nothing wrong if spiritual heads of various Mutts give suggestions to party leaders on candidature issue. "We have to protect the interests of the majority without meting out injustice to the minority. Every one should be treated equally," he stressed.
"Irrespective of party affiliations, we are opposed to the culture of using violent language. We want candidates to treat each others with respect. S M Krishna, who apologized to Sadanand Gowda after passing a personal comment against him, has become a model for others to emulate," he explained.
