PRAYAGRAJ: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday urged seers to be patient for a "few more months" over construction of the Ram temple, saying the issue was at a decisive stage and close to getting accomplished. "We should think positively and have some patience. The country should not lose direction on Ram temple due to impatience," he said while addressing seers on the concluding day of VHP-backed Dharm Sansad at the Kumbh Mela However, a section of the sant community, notably those from Jaunpur, Ayodhya and Patna, protested after Bhagwat ended his speech without declaring a date for temple construction. They shouted slogans and tried to move toward the dais after which VHP workers evicted them from the pandal. The workers formed a human chain to ensure that the protesting sants did not reach the dais."We have waited enough for the temple. VHP and RSS, too, are betraying us. If a majority government at the Centre can pass other Bills, why cannot it do so in case of Ram temple," said Sachinand Prabhakar from Jaunpur after the event. Swami Rabindranand from Ghaziabad said, "Dharm Sansad has turned out to be a political event with all the leaders calling for giving support to PM Narendra Modi. Why are they not talking about a Bill for Ram temple?"In his speech, Bhagwat said the coming four to six months are "full of turmoil" due to elections and "any movement apart from praying for temple would influence the outcome".Bhagwat also called upon the sant community to give another chance to Modi. "We have to elect those who will construct the Ram temple. We also need to assess who is making this promise, and that this is not being done for just appeasing voters," he said.The RSS chief hailed the Centre's Citizenship Bill, saying, "Only a government which can grant Indian citizenship to tormented Hindus of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan can build temple."After deliberations, VHP, RSS and the seers passed a resolution for building the Ram temple at the sanctum sanctorum.
