A day after RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat took a jibe Sri Sri Ravi shankar for trying to ‘find a solution‘ for the dragging Babri Masjid dispute in Ayodhya, the Art of Living founder has reportedly decided to skip the Dharam Sansad in Udupi.
Ravi Shankar was invited to attend the three-day Dharam Sansad event organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad in Karnataka’s Udupi to discuss issues like – Babri Masjid Demolition, Ram Mandir controversy, cow slaughter and religious conversions.
Speaking at a gathering at the Sansad on Friday, Rashritya Swayamsevak Sang chief had come down heavily on Ravi Shankar for his bid to resolve the Babri Masjid discord.
Without naming Ravi Shankar, Bhagwat had fired,”There is a famous person. The one who we know through media. He is part of the talks. He came and met me and wanted to discuss about the issue (Babri Masjid/Ram Janmabhoomi). I said it is not our job at all. He did not listen to me, and tried to pass a resolution at a programme I was present. The Dharma Sansad is there to lead the way”.
Reiterating strongly that no compromises will be made on the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Bhagwat added, “The Ram temple will be constructed at the site of Ramjanmabhoomi and nothing else will be built. It will be constructed and that too in its original form and with the same stones. It will be built under the leadership of those who led this movement and have been holding its flag for 20-25 years.”
Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) mob tore down the 16th century Babri Mosque at Ayodhya on December 6, 1992, claiming it had been built after destroying an original Ram temple. The VHP then raised a makeshift Ram temple, saying it was where Lord Ram was born.
