VHP plans big show of strength in Ayodhya
Sanjay Pandey, Lucknow: Dec 1, 2015, dhns
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) plans to turn the 23rd anniversary of Babri mosque demolition into a “show of strength” in Ayodhya and has taken to the social media to solicit support for its demand for construction a Ram temple at the disputed site.
The decision assumes significance as it comes within weeks of the death of senior VHP leader Ashok Singhal.
The VHP, which has created #IndiawantsRamMandir in an apparent bid to mobilise public support for Ram Temple movement spearheaded by it, celebrates the Babri mosque demolition anniversary on December 6 as Shaurya Diwas (day of bravery) while Muslim organizations observe it as ‘Black Day’.
“We have been receiving a very good response from the people on the social media... people have been giving vent to their feelings on the issue,” VHP spokesman Sharad Sharma said on Monday.
Sharma said that the response clearly reflected that the people of the country wanted Ram temple in Ayodhya.
“A meeting of the saints, sadhus and religious leaders will be held at Karsevakpuram in Ayodhya on December 6,” Sharma told Deccan Herald from Ayodhya over phone. The response on Twitter, however, appeared to be a mixed one.
