On the occasion today, which is also the 23rd anniversary of Barbri Masjid demolition, the chief minister asked the BJP and the RSS to announce the date of construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya as the people were anxious to know the date on which the temple would come up. “If a temple can not be built there despite the bloodshed that happened over the issue, what about the hundreds of people who sacrificed their lives for the cause”, the Sena said in an editorial in its mouthpiece “Saamana“.
