New Delhi: VHP on Saturday made a strong pitch for bringing a bill in Parliament to pave the way for construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya and expressed confidence of it becoming a reality during the tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

VHP leader Surendra Jain also reached out to Congress president Sonia Gandhi urging her to support the bill inside Parliament. "Modiji is a smart politician. He is aware people who are pushing for the temple are also responsible for his victory as well as those who want development. He will respect their emotions," Jain, VHP's international joint secretary general, told reporters here.
