On the concluding day of the three-day conclave of Akhil Bhartiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS), apex decision-making body of RSS in Nagpur, its general secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi (pic) said construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya is the only option.
Though the case is pending in the Supreme Court, Joshi, who was elected Sar Karyawaha or RSS general secretary for the fourth time on Saturday, said “Construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya is the matter of time.
Except Ram temple nothing can be constructed there.” He added, “The matter is in court and we are vwaiting for its decision.”
Joshi did not appear enthusiastic about Art of Living founder Shri Shri Ravishankar’s efforts at reconciliation.Shri Shri Ravishankar has been trying to build consensus between Hindus and Muslims but is not getting a very positive response from both sections.
On the demand of Lingayats in Karnataka he said “We don’t consider Lingayat as a separate religion. They are a different sect but part of Hinduism.”
