New Delhi: Claiming that the archaeological evidence at the disputed site at Ayodhya "proved beyond doubt" the existence of a temple, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kalyan Singh today (Apr 5, 2005) asked the Muslim community to forgo their claim.

"The excavations at the disputed site by the Archaeological Survey of India has proved beyond doubt that Babur had constructed the mosque over a temple in 1528," Singh, during whose rule the disputed structure was brought down by kar sevaks on December 6, 1992, told reporters in New Delhi.

He asked the Muslim community that they should "let go off" their claim for construction of Ram temple at the site.

Voicing strong demand, Singh said, "(Ram) temple should be made and will be made at Ayodhya."
