Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray has arrived at Faizabad Airport in Uttar Pradesh along with his son Aditya for the Ashirwaad Sammelan in Ayodhya. The party chief will perform rituals as part of a campaign to raise the pitch for the construction of the Ram temple.
Earlier in the day, Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party chief and cabinet minister Om Prakash Rajbhar said that Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath will be responsible for any untoward incident in Ayodhya during Shiv Sena’s show of strength as despite the imposition of Section 144, the administration has allowed thousands of supporters to gather in the temple town.
