Although the telecast of the Ayodhya verdict was greeted with Jai Shri Ram and Ram Lalla,we will come and construct the temple at the disputed site by dozens of VHP cadres and supporters,who had started assembling at the Karsewakpuram,the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas asserted that it was not a question of victory or defeat for any section of society and that they would challenge the judgment in the Supreme Court. First we will see how the High Court has given one portion of the land to the Sunni Central Waqf Board. Then we will challenge the High Courts verdict in the Supreme Court. The decision on the construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya is possible only after the verdict of the Supreme Court, said Mahant Nritya Gopal Das,chairman of the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas,earlier headed by Paramhans Ram Chandra Das. It is not a question of victory or defeat for any section of society. There is no need for grand celebrations by the Hindus over the courts judgment. If at all,they want to rejoice over the courts verdict,they should do it inside their place of residence. However,the Nyas,affiliated to the Vishwa Hindu Parishad,maintained the verdict had vindicated the stand of the Hindus that a temple existed at the disputed site and it was Lord Rams birthplace. We are happy that the High Court has recognised the historical fact that the Ramjanmabhoomi temple existed at the disputed site. We are also pleased that the court respected the faith and sentiments of the vast majority of Hindus that the Ram Janmabhoomi temple existed at the disputed site and also the right of Hindus to perform puja at the temple, said the Mahant. Asking all sections of society to respect the courts verdict,the Mahant said,Muslims should also respect the court verdict as they had been favouring all along the courts verdict instead of settlement through negotiations. The courts verdict has upheld the report of the Archeological Survey of India and also the contention of the Hindus that the temple existed at the disputed site, he said. Islam also does not permit the construction of the mosque at the disputed land. On the trust plans to initiate the process of temple construction at the site,the Mahant said,I wish to make no comment on this issue. The High Courts verdict is the first step towards the process of construction of the temple,but the option of the Supreme Court is open.
