Union Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilizers Hansraj Ahir on Monday said the BJP was committed to building a Ram temple in Ayodhya. “The BJP government has not gone back on the Ram temple issue ... Though it is not in our manifesto, it is a matter of honour and dignity,” Mr. Ahir said at an event.
“Sadhus and mahants are doing their work in this regard. It is decided that whenever it happens, it will be a temple that will be built in Ayodhya and not a ‘masjid’ [mosque],” he told journalists in Ballia.
