"Mass Agitation" If Needed, Says RSS No. 2 On Ram Temple | Read

A top Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader today warned that Hindus will not shy away from launching a 1992-like mass agitation if a Ram temple was not constructed at Ayodhya soon. "Avashyakta padi tho karenge (we will do, if needed)," RSS general secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi told mediapersons after the conclusion of a three-day national executive body meeting of the organisation in Maharashtra's Thane district. Mr Joshi also termed the Supreme Court's decision to post the temple-mosque case to January as an "insult" to Hindu sentiments. "Hindus across the country were hoping to get some good news before Diwali, given that the matter was listed for hearing on October 29. But the Supreme Court pushed the hearing, saying that its priorities are different. That felt like an insult," he said.
