New Delhi, Sept. 25: The architect of the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, Mr L.K. Advani, on Saturday visited the Somnath temple in Gujarat to offer prayers. Mr Advani had taken out his contentious rath yatra from Somnath in 1990, triggering the Ram Janmabhoomi movement.
Saturday was the anniversary of the senior BJP leader’s 1990 yatra.
That the party intends to revive the Ayodhya issue again became somewhat evident when expelled saffrom sanyasin Ms Uma Bharti shared the platform with Mr Advani at the Somnath temple.
Ms Bharti has been a leading proponent of the Ram temple at the disputed site.
While the Congress in New Delhi cautioned all political outfits against “reopening old wounds”, the Supreme Court will on September 28 decide the fate of the special leave petition seeking the deferment of the Allahabad high court verdict on the Ayodhya title suit.
