Temple can wait
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has postponed its plans of constructing the Ram temple in Ayodhya. It even hinted that those announcing dates of starting construction were doing it at the cost of their reputation, and advised all to refrain from believing rumours on the matter. The VHP pointed to the security situation in the country, particularly the death of 20 soldiers on the India-China Line of Actual control, as a reason for this. The bhoomi poojan of the temple was scheduled on July 2 but VHP’s latest stance means that it may now be reschduled.
