“Vikas nahi, Mandir chahiye”

Chants of building a Ram Mandir in Ayodhya grew louder as thousands gathered at the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP)‘s “Dharam Sabha” rally organised at the Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi on Sunday, 9 December.

From as far as Bihar to interiors of Uttar Pradesh to remote corners of Haryana, devotees of all age groups, clad in saffron and “Bhagwa Dhwaj” in hand, marched towards the main ground with a unanimous war cry, “Mandir wahin banayenge”!
