New Delhi: Overriding its earlier demand for only the "undisputed land" in Ayodhya,
the VHP (Vishwa Hindu Parishad) on February 11 stepped up its aggression asking the
government to hand over the entire acquired area including the disputed site,
threatening that a denial could lead to claims on thousands of other mosques.
"We want the government to hand over to the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas the entire 77 acres
of acquired land including the disputed 80/40 sq feet plot by February 22 when the
Dharam Sansad meets in Delhi.
"However, if the demand is not met either through a Parliament enactment or other
means, it could lead to a people's movement which can even lay claim on the thousands
of mosques built after demolishing temples like Bhojshala in Madhya Pradesh and
Bodangiri in Karnataka," VHP secretary general Praveen Togadia told reporters in New
Delhi.
VHP's claim at present is confined to Ayodhya, Krishnajanmabhumi in Mathura and
Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, he said.
The claim for the "undisputed land" was made ahead of the "Shiladaan' in March 2002.
