<p>Senior RSS functionary Indresh Kumar today said Muslims themselves do not want a mosque to be built on the land where the Babri Masjid stood before its demolition in 1992, as it will be "unholy" and "against islam".<br /><br />He said construction of a Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya was in "national interest".<br /><br />"Muslims will never accept such a mosque which is in the name of a person. All those who believe in Islam say such a mosque is unholy (napak) and we will never accept it," Kumar, who is the patron of RSS affiliate 'Muslim Rashtriya Manch', told a seminar on 'Myth and realities on triple talaq, Ram janmabhoomi and freedom of speech'.<br /><br />The mosque was named after Mughal emperor Babur and was built after demolishing a holy place (temple) belonging to another religion, he claimed.<br /><br />"The mosque was named after Babur. So, according to Islam, it is immoral, illegal, unconstitutional, and against Islam. Even namaz was not offered there," he said.<br /><br />Kumar, seeking to strike a chord with Muslims said," Khuda is Ram and Ram is Khuda".<br /><br />He said all should help build a Ram temple there as "it will be in the nation's interest and important for its secular fabric."<br /><br />The seminar was organised by the Forum for Awareness on National Security.<br /><br />Claiming that a "revolution" has started for the construction of Ram temple, Kumar said all those who support peace, harmony, truth, and are nationalists, will favour such a shrine at the disputed site in Ayodhya.<br /><br />The Ram temple issue had resurfaced in a significant way just ahead of the assembly election in Uttar Pradesh, after lying dormant for quite some time due to the BJP's compulsion of running a coalition. After the party won a majority on its own in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, several leaders, including ministers, started making noises about construction of Ram temple.<br /><br />It was back in news recently when the Supreme Court resurrected criminal conspiracy charge against BJP veterans L K Advani, M M Joshi and Uma Bharti in the Babri mosque demolition case. <br /><br /></p>
