Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Nawab Malik on Thursday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is playing politics in the name of Lord Ram hence they are not pursuing or announcing the construction of the mosque in Ayodhya.

Malik's statement came a day after, NCP chief Sharad Pawar demanded the Centre to form a trust for building a mosque in Ayodhya similar to the trust to oversee the construction of Ram temple.
