The fight for Ram janmabhoomi is not for a temple, but for the respect of the nation, said Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) international secretary general Champat Rai during the group’s first rally on the history of Ram janmabhoomi in Ayodhya, on Saturday at Thane. Similarly, the Ram temple should be made to erase the memory of Mughal emperor Babar’s forceful capture of the temple and consequent conversion of it into a mosque, he added. Rai added, “The issue of Ram temple is 490 years old, over which 75 battles were fought. A small temple called Ram janmabhoomi was destroyed by Babar in 1528.
