November 5,2018:
On Sunday, in a meeting in New Delhi of Akhil Bharatiya Sant Samiti (ABSS) which is an umbrella organisation of over 3,000 Hindu monks and ascetics from 127 sects, it passed a resolution demanding that Government should bring in a law or an ordinance for construction of a Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
Statement was issued by ABSS, which is considered close to Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad stated that three large rallies would be held in Ayodhya, Nagpur and Bengaluru on November 25, culminating in a fourth in New Delhi on December 9 in support of a new law.
It further stated that.”On Diwali this year, faithful devotees of Shri Ram should light lamps for the successful construction of a Ram Temple”.
Among those who spoke at the two-day meeting were Former Bharatiya Janata Party MP Ram Vilas Vedanti, Sri Sri Ravishankar of the Art of Living foundation, Shankaracharya Vasudevanand Saraswati, Ramanandacharya Hans- devacharya Maharaj of the Shri Jagannath Dham Ashram and Avichaldas Maharaj of the Kaival Gyanpith.
Statement endorsed the work of the Narendra Modi government over the issues of Dharma, culture, national security and self respect, while at the same time saying that the monks are “upset” over the obstacles in the way of construction of a Ram Temple.
ABSS resolution also demanded that National Register of Citizens (NRC) exercise, currently underway in Assam, be replicated across the country, with 1947 as a cut off date.
However, issue of holding an NRC exercise in other States is tricky.
