Low-key start to Ram temple rally in Delhi

India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 01 Dec 2018, 02:15 pm

New Delhi, Dec 1 (IBNS): Barely a hundred people turned up to take part in a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) rally here demanding early construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, NDTV reported.

The Sangh had expected lakhs to turn up at the rally that is being organised by the Swadeshi Jagran Manch, an RSS-affiliated outfit.

Dubbed the Sankalp Yatra, the rally will run for nine days before culminating at the Ramlila Ground on Dec 9.

"These are just a few workers from a particular segment. Soon, they will be joined by another 100-200 from a different segment. There are hundreds of workers from different segments who will join us eventually," said Manch co-convenor Kamal Tewari, who expects around 6-8 lakh people to be present at the Ramlila Maidan on Dec 9.

Right Wing organisations such as the RSS and Vishwa Hindu Parishad are now demanding an early decision on the Ram Temple issue ahead of the 2019 general elections. The organisers of the rally believe the Supreme Court is not taking up the matter on an urgent basis.
