Will topple govt if Ram temple construction is opposed: Subramanian Swamy
Bharatiya Janata Party BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has warned that if the Centre or Uttar Pradesh government tries to oppose the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, he would topple the government
New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy has warned that if the Centre or Uttar Pradesh government tries to oppose the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, he would “topple the government.”
“If our matter (Ram temple) is listed in January, we’ll win it in two weeks. Because my two opposing parties are the central government and Uttar Pradesh government. Do they have the guts to oppose me? If they do, I’ll topple the government. Though I know that they won’t do it,” he said while addressing a gathering at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) here on Friday.
Furthermore, Swamy claimed that the Muslims known to him had no objection in the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya. “The Muslims I meet personally tell me that they will not have any objection on the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya,” he asserted.
Explaining the timeline of the case, Swamy noted: “Sunni Waqf Board filed a case claiming that the land that was captured by Mughal ruler Babar is ours. They never said that they want to re-construct Babri. They just said it’s our title. Hindu parties like Ram Janmbhoomi Vyas and Nirmohi Akhada said that there were two temples of which they were trustees, and should be given to them. The Allahabad High Court heard their suit and said it’s Ram Janmbhoomi, two gumbads will go to Hindus, one to Muslims.”
Further substantiating his stance and giving a chronological order to the incidents, he added: “Sunni Waqf board challenged it because the land was given to Muslims and not them. The matter was then not heard from 2010-2017. I went to the Supreme Court, and that is why the date was not being fixed by the court. First, they ousted me asking what my stake is (in the matter)”
Elaborating upon how he further went about the case, Swamy claimed that his right to pray should be considered above a property right.
