HYDERABAD: “We will win the Ayodhya case in four months,” claimed BJP leader and Rajya Sabha member Subramanian Swamy. “The issue has to be resolved quickly. Presently the Supreme Court is busy with the issue of triple talaq. There are not many judges at present, but I will soon approach the court again and request them to form a bench,” said Swamy addressing a 1,800 strong Virat Hindustan Sangam’s supporters at Hyderabad on Sunday. Reiterating his earlier rhetoric, the senior leader said the construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya will begin in 2018.

Speaking on why Babri Masjid was named Babri and not Babar Masjid, the MP claimed, “I was curious to know this and so I got the Babarnama works translated into English. I got to know that the name Babri belonged to a seven-year-old boy who Babar had an extra affection for. I don’t wish to elaborate on this.”

The event also saw potshots being aimed at Hyderabad MP and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi after he dared BJP national chief Amit Shah to contest election from Hyderabad. “This time the elections at Hyderabad will not be between two political parties, it will be two between two ideologies. One will be between the one who says Bharat Mata ki Jai and the other who refuses to say it,” said Paripoornananda Saraswati, head of Sreepeetham ashram.

“The issue of Ram temple can be settled very very quickly as now we have Yogi Adithyanath as the chief minister of UP. We can settle it outside the court and he is ready for it. He can do it easily,” said Paripoornananda. He further added that Muslims will not stand in the way of the temple as they too were tired of the vote bank politics.

‘If Pak nukes us, we’ll nuke them 10 times’

Speaking on the issue of Kashmir, Swamy said, “The problem in Kashmir is restricted to a small area and it won’t even take 10 days to resolve it. We are more concerned with the question But what if Pakistan attacks? Last time we made them two, this time we will make them four.” On the apprehension of Pakistan’s retaliatory attacks using nuclear weapons, Swamy said, “If they nuke us we will nuke them ten times. Officials from USA have told me that they have put lock on Pakistan’s nuke arsenal using cyber technology.”
