Prime Minister Narendra Modi should change his timing to bring a legislation for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) said Wednesday, adding that it would try to "persuade" Modi to bring the bill during the tenure of the current government.

The VHP's comments came a day after Modi suggested that any decision on an ordinance on the Ram temple could only be taken after the completion of the judicial process, while stressing that the government was ready to make all efforts to fulfil its responsibility.

Addressing a press conference here, VHP's international working president Alok Kumar said Hindus could not wait "till eternity" for the court's decision on the Ram temple and asserted that the only way forward was to enact a legislation for its construction.

Responding to a question on Modi's remarks about an ordinance on the Ram temple, Kumar said, "We liked the prime minister's commitment for the construction of the temple in Ayodhya, but he should change his timing for bringing a legislation for it and bring the law immediately."
