Speaking to media, Verma said,” The BJP has come to power on the issue of development but Ram Mandir will be constructed as it is our determination. The matter is in the Supreme Court and the Supreme court is ours. The judiciary, administration, the nation as well as the Ram Temple belong to us.”
Earlier Keshav Prasad Maurya had claimed that if the Ram Mandir is not resolved by the talks and the Supreme Court, then it will try to solve it through the Parliament. He said,” I feel there should not be too much delay in the judgment, or it can be resolved through dialogue or the third option is to pass a law in parliament — that option is open too.”
A Supreme Court special bench headed by CJI Deepak Mishra is currently hearing 14 pleas filed against the 2010 judgment of the Allahabad High Court.
