As the RSS , VHP and the Shiv Sena have intensified their campaign for the Ram temple at Ayodhya at the earliest, BJP leader Ram Madhav has reportedly said that the option of taking the ordinance route on the Ram Temple issue is always open, but the government will wait for the Supreme Court to decide on the matter.

The BJP general secretary said that the Supreme Court is set to hear the Ram Jannmabhumi-Babri Masjid case from January 4 and expressed hope that the matter would be disposed of in a fast-track manner.

However, he warned that in case of a delay, the Government would be free to explore other options.

”The option of an ordinance has always been there. But the matter is right now in the Supreme Court. The top court has given a date of January 4 to decide about next bench. We are hoping that the SC will take it in fast-track way and conclude it early. If that’s not going to happen, we’ll explore other options,” Madhav said.
