Suresh Joshi.

Senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Suresh Joshi, on Friday, stated that the construction of the Ram temple at the disputed Ayodhya site is the “center of the nation’s consciousness” and the “center of the faith of crores of people”.

Joshi claimed that the belief is the “nation will progress more rapidly” once the Ram temple is “constructed on the Ram Janmabhoomi site by 2025”.

While in a meeting of the managing committee and board of trustees of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) at the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Joshi said, “Mandir bane yeh hamaari ichcha hai … 2025 tak poora hona chahiye, yeh hamari ichcha hai … sarkar ko tai karna hai… aaj shuru hoga toh paanch varshon me banega (It is our wish that the temple is built. That it is complete by 2025 is our wish. The government must decide. If it starts today, it will take five years to build).”

He further stated building of the Ram temple in Ayodhya is not just a matter of building another temple. He said, “It is the center of the nation’s consciousness, the center of the faith of crores of people, the center of trust. There are thousands of temples. Once the Ayodhya temple is built, the country will get capital for the next 150 years and be a progressive one.”
