The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) opened throttle on the Ram Mandir campaign, with Surendra Jain, joint general secretary (VHP) who was in Mumbai on Friday, stating that mammoth rallies are planned in several cities across the nation to press for the Mandir. A big rally is slated for December 2 in Mumbai at the MMRDA ground in Bandra East. Jain upped the ante at a press meet at Azad Maidan where he also spoke about Sabrimala.

Surendra Jain speaks: On a timeframe for the Ram temple…
We are urging for movement on the temple. We need to get the land fast. We have had so many talks with government leaders, there have been so many intermediaries. A section of the Muslim leadership says though there should be no talks, let there be a judgment.
