Trust For Ram Temple: Kejriwal Welcomes Centre's Move, Skirts Questions On Timing

With barely 72 hours to go before Delhi polls for the Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the formation of a trust to construct a Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

Amid loud thumping of desks and chants of Jai Shri Ram from the treasury benches, the PM announced in the Lok Sabha that the Union Cabinet has prepared a scheme for the development of Ram temple in Ayodhya as directed by the Supreme Court in its verdict in the Ram JanmabhoomiBabri Masjid case in November, 2019.

In the ongoing Delhi Assembly polls, the BJP has pitched its core ideological issues of the repeal of Article 370, construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya and passage of Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) that makes religion a criteria for grant of citizenship. The law allows granting of citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian migrants from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
