Taking a dig at the Central government, the Congress MLA asked, “If Ram Mandir isn’t constructed in India, will it be constructed in Pakistan? It should be built in India only.” Questioning the government Baig said, “Matter is before the court. Now they’re trying to bring an ordinance. Why did they not do this in 4.5 yrs?”
