In a move that came off as surprising, Yogi Adityanath on Saturday opined that nobody should be discriminated against. This statement came in the light of the ongoing protests against the entry of women between the ages of 10 and 50 into the Sabarimala Temple.
Addressing the media here, Adityanath said, “If Supreme Court can give its verdict on Sabarimala Temple, then we appeal that a decision on Ram Mandir should also be taken as soon possible, to ensure peace in the country ”.
Earlier, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister had called on cadres to start preparing for the construction of a temple dedicated to Lord Ram in Ayodhya.
On the allegation that the Ram Temple issue is being used a political tool, the CM said, “The issue of Ram Janmabhoomi is not about politics, it is about religious sentiments and faith.”
The long-standing Ram Mandir matter is pending before the Supreme Court for a final resolution. The case will next be heard on 29 October.
