VHP wants law on Ram temple

The VHP on Friday insisted that a legislation by Parliament is the speedy way for building Ram Temple, hours after the Supreme Court said an appropriate bench on January 10 will decide on fixing the date of hearing in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute title case.

VHP working president Alok Kumar said it would have been better if the Supreme Court had constituted an appropriate bench before the last hearing on October 29, 2018.

"It is to be seen as to how the new bench will respond to the matter, particularly about the request for a day-to-day hearing and early disposal of the appeals," Kumar said.

"The VHP continues to be of the firm opinion that legislation by Parliament is an expeditious way of resolving the disputes and would urge the central government to bring in such legislation within its term," he said.
