The supporters of former Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Pravin Togadia clashed with the police Tuesday after the former broke boundary barricades of the disputed Ram Janambhoomi-Babri Masjid premises here, trying to enter the area.
After the clash, all roads to Ayodhya were blocked by the police. The police had to use force to disperse the mob, said officials, adding that the roads were opened after conditions became normal.
The mob was stopped as they tried to enter the premises from the wrong side, said Faizabad SSP Joginder Kumar.
Later in the day, Togadia announced plans to float a new political party, whose candidates will contest Lok Sabha seats in the coming General Elections.
Addressing a gathering of activists of his Antarrashtriya Hindu Parishad in Ayodhya, Togadia said his new political party will take on the BJP in the run up to the next Lok Sabha elections due next year.
He said he will announce the name of the party and candidates for all Lok Sabha seats in Delhi next month.
who has camped in the temple town for the past three days, slammed the saffron party for ignoring the interests of Hindus, by not doing enough to ensure a grand Ram temple is constructed at the disputed site. Hindus will now vote for a Hindu government and the BJP will be defeated, Togadia told PTI.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi got such (huge) public support only in the name of Ram Mandir. In fifteen Hindu Dharam Sansads (Hindu Parliaments) held since 1984, anonymous resolutions have been passed that when BJP gets clear majority then law for Ram Janambhoomi Temple will be made, but now they have betrayed all Dharam Sansads and decided to wait for the court verdict," he said, targeting the BJP and the prime minister.
