Govt to act on Ram Mandir after SC verdict: Paswan

Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said on Monday that the NDA government would act on the Ram temple issue on the basis of the Supreme Court verdict and not on pro-Ram Mandir rhetoric of saffron leaders. The Lok Janshakti Party leader said there was no question of relations between his party and BJP souring over the issue as the government would act on basis of the apex court verdict.

Also, Prime Minister’s politics revolves around development, not around controversial issues such as Ram Mandir, Babri Masjid and Common Civil Code among others, Paswan said here.

“In the last two-and-half years of Modi’s rule, the Prime Minister has not even once spoken about Ram Mandir, Babri Masjid, Common Uniform Civil Code and Article 370, among others. 

“His only aim is that there should be development in the country...how to solve the unrest among the youth, and strengthen the image of India, internationally, which no other Prime Minister could do as better as Modi,” he said.

The Union Minister said: “There is no question of Modi’s image taking a beating and relations between the LJP and the BJP souring over the Ram Mandir issue because the NDA government will act on SC’s verdict, not on pro-Ram Mandir rhetoric of saffron leaders including Pravin Togadia.”
