Less than two weeks after organising Dharma Sabha to mobilise support for the construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad is now gearing up to observe Shaurya Diwas on December 6, the day of demolition of Babri mosque, which Muslim outfits observe as ‘Yaum-e-Gham’ (Day of Sorrow).
The year 2018 marks the completion of 26 years of the demolition of Babri mosque. This will be followed by Gita Jayanti celebrations marking the advent of Hindu sacred text Bhagavad Gita on December 18. “Shaurya Diwas will be traditionally celebrated. In Ayodhya, VHP, along with various Hindu outfits, will hold religious functions, including a ‘hawan’, so that a grand Ram temple is built in Ayodhya,” VHP spokesperson Sharad Sharma said in Ayodhya. “Special prayers will be offered to Goddess Saraswati so that she can help people, specially politicians, in removing obstructions in the path of Ram temple construction,” he said.
