Government committed to construction of Ram temple : Union Minister Mahesh Sharma
"People are committed to build Ram Temple in Ayodhya. A Ram museum is already being made," media reports quoted him as saying.
The Minister also said that the Centre has sanctioned Rs 170 crore to build a Ram Museum in the city.
However, he later said "we want the temple but the party will follow the court order. Till the decision is pending in court I cannot say anything."
Refusing to comment on Sharma's statement, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, "the issue is in court and it is not a political case."
Asserting its resolve to build the Ram temple, the VHP has already announced a nationwide drive to collect stones for construction of the temple.
