Subramanian Swamy moves Supreme Court on Ram temple construction issue

New Delhi: BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Monday created yet another controversy by moving the Supreme Court seeking a direction for the construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya by disposing of the batch of appeals expeditiously.

In his writ petition, Dr. Swamy has urged the apex Court to allow the Hindus to rebuild the Ram Temple at the Ram Janmabhoomi site in Ayodhya.

He said the exact spot where Lord Rama was born (Ram Janma-bhoomi) has been and remains firmly identified in the Hindu mind and is held as sacred. This is the area where the structure stood from 1528 till December 6, 1992, a structure that came to be known as Babri Masjid, put up in 1528 by Babar‘s commander Mir Baqi, he said.
