Nagpur, November 25: Rashtriya Sawamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat today pressed for the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. While speaking at ‘hunkar sabha' in Nagpur, Bhagwat expressed dissatisfaction over the progress in constructing the temple. The RSS chief said, “The matter is in Court, the decision should be given early. It has also been proved that the Temple was there. Supreme Court is not giving priority to the case. Justice delayed is justice denied.”

Bhagwat’s push for the temple came on the day when Vishav Hindu Parishad conducted the ‘Dharma Sabha’, and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray rallied over 3,000 followers in Ayodhya. PM Narendra Modi Accuses Congress of Adopting 'Delaying Tactics' in SC to Create Hurdles in Construction of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya.
