BJP MP from Bhopal, Pragya Singh Thakur on Friday asserted that Ram Temple will be built in Ayodhya in the same manner by which Article 370 was abrogated from Jammu and Kashmir.
Thakur, who is known for making controversial statements, said, “Ram Mandir will be built in Ayodhya, the same way Article 370 was removed from Jammu and Kashmir. Nothing will happen to me till the construction of the shrine in Ayodhya.”
“Everyone believes now that removal of Article 370 has united the country. Now a grand Ram Temple will be built and we all witness it soon,” she said while speaking to reporters in Indore.

“The day-to-day hearing on Ayodhya matter is taking place in the Supreme Court and a decision will be taken soon in the favour of the construction of Ram temple... Even the Muslim community supports this,” he claimed.
