VHP International general secretary Pravin Togadia has once again hit headlines, by raising the issue of Ram Mandir to deal with Islamic State.

Speaking at the outfit's national executive meeting in Madhya Pradesh, the VHP leader said that it is important to build the Ram Temple to stop ISIS from spreading its wings in India, according to a report in IBN Khabar. Togadia also said that the construction of the temple is important to stop India from becoming Syria. A law should be enacted in Parliament to construct Ram Temple in Ayodhya, he added.

Claiming that nowadays, Hindus are 'neglected' in India and nobody listens to them, Togadia said that the day a law is passed to built the temple, he would himself work for Modi's victory.

Meanwhile, almost six months after VHP announced its nationwide drive to collect stones for construction of the Ram temple, two trucks of stones arrived in Ayodhya last week, even as police said it was monitoring the situation.
