New Delhi, February 11:: Champat Rai, Joint General Secretary of Vishwa Hindu Parishad, talked at length with Ashok Kumar of Express Online disclosing the plans of the rightist organisation in relation to the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya to their relationship with BJP, Congress, Commies and its outlook towards the Muslims.

I never said that we are going to start the construction of temple in 2002 but yes the construction of the Ram Temple at Ayodhya may very well start before the end of the year 2006.

The Canadian expert, who worked on behalf of the Tojo Vikas International solicited by the Govt on the direction of the court in his GPRS survey report hinted out at the remains of the huge building. It was later confirmed by the ASI committee constituted under the directions by the court, which verified the experts theory on the maximum number of points.

The report has been submitted to the court, which accepted as it said the same would be taken on record subject to objections by oral evidences. Once that process is over the judgment will be delivered.

Currently the case is with the courts and hopefully soon they will come out with the judgment. But we are not a party to the case in the courts. According to my knowledge there are 25 parties involved with the suit but VHP is not one amongst them.

It is quite premature to ask why VHP did not become a party in the litigation over the disputed Ram Janam Bhoomi site he declares, with a glint in his eyes. We will let the Hindus know our purpose of keeping away from the ongoing case.

We have not deceived people’s faith. We are like always for the construction of the temple. It does not make much difference if the BJP was in power or not. The situation (security) around the temple is such that no body willing could even venture into the few yards of the disputed campus. But as soon as the opportune time comes we will translate our preparedness into reality.

Yes we are not happy with BJP as a party because it did not come true to our visions. For us it was a failure, which could not deliver on either of our demands be it abrogation of the article 370, Uniform Civil Code, protection of cows or eviction of 3 crore Bangladeshi immigrants, who are playing a spoilsport with the limited and already shrinking job opportunities for youth.

... contd.
