Roshan Baig, Karnataka’s Congress MLA and the former minister asked if a Ram temple was not built in India, will it be built in Pakistan and said Muslims respected the sentiments of their Hindu brothers.
He questioned as to what the saffron party-led government at the Centre was doing for the last four-and-a-half years while hitting out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for alleged attempts to bring an ordinance on the Ram temple issue.
He said, “Because of the election atmosphere in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, suddenly they (BJP) have started talking about the Ram temple and because of the 2019 Lok Sabha election.”
After the Supreme Court’s decision to defer the hearing on the Ram Janmabhoomi land dispute case till January, the voices for bringing a law to build a Ram temple in Ayodhya is growing louder among the Sangh Parivar.
He said “I had said, again I repeat, if Ram Mandir is not built in India, will it be constructed in Pakistan? We respect the sentiments of our Hindu brothers.”
“Do not try to polarise the society before elections, enough is enough. I want Hindus and Muslims to live peacefully. How long will this (issue) drag on?”
