The RSS on Friday said hindus were feeling "insulted" by the Supreme Court's declaration that the Ayodhya issue is not a priority and insisted that an ordinance would be needed if all options run out.

After a three-day RSS conclave here in Maharashtra, its general secretary BhaiyyajiJoshisaid the organisation "will not hesitate to launch an agitation for Ram temple, if needed, but since the matter is in the Supreme Court, there are restrictions."
He said the RSS was "not putting pressure" on the government as "we respect the law and the Constitution which is why there has been delay."
Commenting on this, Joshi said, "it is a matter of pain and anguish that an issue which Hindus consider their faith and sentiment is not in the priority list of the court... Hindus are feeling insulted."
At the same time, he added, "Unless the Supreme Court takes a decision on the title suit, it is difficult for the government to take any decision."
