Mumbai: Joining the raging controversy on Ram temple issue, Shiv Sena, a key
constituent of National Democratic Alliance (NDA), on February 13 said a "practical
solution" to resolve the imbroglio was to construct the temple at an "undisputed
land in Ayodhya".
"How long are we going to stretch the dispute and allow bloodshed," Sena's executive
president Uddhav Thackeray said and expressed that his party was in favour of
settling the vexed matter by constructing the temple at an undisputed site in
Ayodhya.
Asked what should be built on the disputed site, Uddhav said Sena supremo Bal
Thackeray had earlier suggested that a national monument should be constructed at
that site.
"An apt monument will be that for Mangal Pandey, the martyr of the country's first
freedom struggle who also hailed from Uttar Pradesh," the Sena leader
said.
"Even the Shankaracharya and the Centre are now agreeing to the view that the
practical solution is to build the temple at an undisputed site," Uddhav
added.
