Commence Ram Temple construction now, Swamy urges PM
Senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Subramanian Swamy has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to commence construction of Ram Temple at Ayodhya and declare Ram Setu as a national monument.
In a letter written to the Prime Minister on May 31, the day he assumed office, Swamy said that the Union government has the right to take over anybody’s land in public interest and requested it to assure the Supreme Court that just compensation will be given to all parties in the Ramjanmabhoomi – Babri Masjid land dispute and allocate the “disputed” land for building the Ram Temple.
“There is no bar in law which stands in the way of the Government of India allocating the 67.72 acres of land in Ayodhya to anybody which has a public character for building the Ram Temple. The government can inform the Supreme Court that compensation, as decided by the court, will be paid to the winning appellant,” he said.
