Ranchi: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) president Ashok Singhal on July 8 said that Ram Temple will be constructed at any cost.

''How can the court decide the birth place of Lord Ram,'' questioned Singhal while addressing a gathering at the town hall and asserted ''no force can stop us''.

Commenting on Pakistan President Gen Pervez Musharraf, the VHP leader said, ''He has become a disciple of his students (former Talebans) in the hope of using them against India.''

Reiterating VHP's demand for trifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir, Singhal said, ''Kashmiri Muslims cannot decide the state's fate. It is the Indian government, which has to decide.''

''Hindus in Jammu are being ignored. They are not getting land, rather facing terrorists' attacks. Even Amarnath yatries are not being spared,'' he said.

Criticising the ''so called'' secular parties, Singhal said ''their job is just to criticise and abuse Hindus''.

The demand for a ban on Bajrang Dal and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) by some political parties ''is to prevent Hindus from self-defence at a time when some elements are coming with jehadi junoon''.
