Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind seeks effective enforcement of Places of Worship Act
The 1991 Places of Worship Act, prohibits the filing of a lawsuit to reclaim a place of worship or seek a change in its character from what prevailed on August 15, 1947.
Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday said that there was no dispute as to what should be built at Ayodhya, reiterating his demand that the Centre enact a law for a Ram temple in the Uttar Pradesh town.
“This is not a question to be asked as to what should be built at Ayodhya…the Sangh is committed already for the construction of a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya,” Bhagwat said in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, after inaugurating the Patanjali Gurukulum.

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev said that the patience of people on the Ram temple issue was wearing thin and that the government should bring an ordinance to facilitate an early construction of the Ram temple.
He warned against delaying the process, saying that people will otherwise construct the temple on their own.
