Temple can be built by law: Maurya

Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said on Monday that Parliament could enact a law to build a Ram temple in Ayodhya, but the government would do so only after exhausting two other options. The first was a Supreme Court decision and the second mediation. Mr. Maurya said the Centre could introduce a law if other options failed. “There is no need for a law today as the first two options are open. Also, we don’t have the numbers [in Rajya Sabha] as of today,” he said. AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi hit out at Mr. Maurya for his ‘atrocious’ comments and said it was a ploy by the BJP to divert attention of the people.
