Ram Vilas Vedanti wishes to head proposed temple trust

Ayodhya: Kicking up a fresh controversy, former BJP MP Ram Vilas Vedanti expressed his wish to head the proposed temple trust. Vedanti has played a proactive role in the Ayodhya movement.

A temple trust is to be set up in accordance with the final Supreme Court verdict that came on November 9.

According to Times Now, in an audio clip that has been circulated among the saint community in Ayodhya, Vedanti is heard saying that he wishes to head the proposed temple trust.

The conversation in the video clip is between Vedanti and Tapasviji Chhavni head Mahant Paramhansdas. Mahant Paramhansdas was detained on Thursday for making derogatory remarks against Ram Janambhoomi Nyas chief Nritya Gopal Das. However, the conversation is yet to be verified.

Vedanti, in the audio clip, is heard asking Paramhansdas to propose his name for the head of the trust. Reportedly, both can also be heard making indecent remarks against Nritya Gopal Das.

The Supreme Court in its November 9 verdict had asked the central government to set up a trust within three months that will supervise the construction of the Ram temple.
