New Delhi [India]: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Friday welcomed Supreme Court’s decision to hold a day-to-day hearing on Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute.

“We welcome the Supreme Court’s decision to hold a day-to-day hearing from August 6. We are hopeful that this long-pending dispute will be resolved within a certain period of time and the legal barriers to construction of the temple will be removed…and the work of constructing a grand temple will start soon,” its leader Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi was quoted as saying in a tweet by the RSS.
