Prominent Muslim litigant in the Babri Masjid case, Iqbal Ansari, appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to expedite the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
“When the court has given its verdict in favour of Ram temple, then there should not be any delay in the construction of a grand temple,” Ansari told media persons in Ayodhya on Monday.
Further urging people of all communities to support the construction of Ram temple, he said that facilities in Ayodhya like wide roads, good guest houses for pilgrims and other things be enhanced so that people from all over the world could come here to have a glimpse of the Ram temple.
Ansari also demanded that the temple be constructed in such a way that devotees could see the Saryu river from it.
“Besides, Ayodhya railway station should be a replica of the Ram temple,” he suggested.
Iqbal Ansari had refused to go for a review of the November 9 Supreme Court judgement on Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case and has been repeatedly supporting construction of Ram temple.
The apex court has asked the government to set up a trust within three months of the decision, that will be responsible for the construction of Ram temple while Muslims would be given five acres of land in Ayodhya for construction of a mosque.
