ALLAHABAD: A decision on the construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya will be taken during the Mahakumbh as saints and office bearers of various Hindu organisations including the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) will deliberate on the issue, said international working president of VHP, Praveen Togadia. He was speaking to reporters here on Tuesday.
Urging Hindu parents and guardians to enroll their children above 18 years in VHP, Togadiya said a membership drive will begin from August 10. The VHP aims to enroll around 11 lakh members in the drive, he said.
On the rising number of suspensions of VHP members, Togadiya said there is no provision for suspending or ousting members at VHP. However, duties and reponsibilities may change from time to time if any complaints are received against a member or office bearer.
Earlier, Togadia visited Asthan village in Kunda tehsil under Pratapgarh district on Tuesday and met the kin of persons lodged in jail in connection with the violence which took place few days back in the aftermath of rape and death of a minor girl.
Togadiya said VHP will look after the families until the release of these persons from jail. The organisation would provide them all necessary assistance and extend help in all form, said Togadia.
