In an attempt to exert pressure on the Narendra Modi and Yogi Adityanath Governments for early construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya, Mahant Ram Parhamans Das of Taspwi Chhavni temple along with his disciples sat on an indefinite fast in Ayodhya on Monday.
Mahant Das announced before the media that he would not consume any food or water till the announcement for a temple was made.
The sant also slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party governments for ignoring Ram temple and said that after promising it, they were now backing out.
Mahant Das said that now Muslims too wanted the Ram temple and hence all problems had been sorted out and only a small section of the minorities was opposing it.
“I have sent information about my indefinite fast to President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and other persons concerned,” he said.
Recently, the Supreme Court has decided to hear the vexed Ayodhya title suit on day-to-day basis from October 28.
