Lucknow : Ravi Shankar Prasad, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and lawyer for one of the litigants in the Ayodhya land dispute, Thursday urged Muslims to help build a grand temple for the Hindu god Ram at the site where a makeshift temple now stands.
Addressing reporters outside the premises of the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court, Ravi Shankar Prasad underlined that the judges had ruled by majority that the place where the makeshift temple for Ram was built in December 1992 after the razing of the Babri mosque is where Lord Ram was born.
“After this ruling, I make an humble appeal to the Muslims of this country, please accept this verdict, please help in the construction of a temple… It will lead to a new brotherhood in the country,” he said.
The lawyer added that he was making the appeal not as a BJP leader but as a citizen of India.
