Preparations are underway to build Ram Mandir in Ayodhya by next year, said Pejawar seer Vishwesha Thirtha Swami here on Friday.

Addressing the gathering on the inaugural day of three-day Dharma Sansad, he said, "Inequality and untouchability are two biggest internal enemies of Hindus. The Hindus themselves should find a solution to weed out the social evils from the religion."

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said, "The atmosphere is conducive to build Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. At this juncture, we should tread a cautious path and not falter in sight of victory."

Paripoornananda Swami, speaking on the occasion, said, "It is unfortunate that saffron-robed sadhus and sants are being seen as terrorists, these days, and there is a need to change the mindset of the people by making sure the Bhagwad Dwjha flutter across the country."

"By constructing Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, we can pay real tributes to Ashok Singhal and hundreds who have sacrificed their lives for the cause, he said.
