Controversial Muslim leader Asaduddin Owaisi has dared the NDA government to bring an ordinance to felicitate the construction of the Ram Mandir at Ayodhya after the Supreme Court adjourned the matter until January 2019.
Why don’t they bring it (ordinance on Ram temple)? Let them do it. Every time they are threatening that they will bring an ordinance. Every Tom, Dick & Harry of BJP, RSS, VHP says this. Do it. You are in power. I challenge you to do it. Let us see: Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM pic.twitter.com/XXXG4xQLtE

While Owaisi’s dare was quite clearly made with the intention of taunting the Bharatiya Janata Party, genuine calls for an ordinance on the matter or a law is gaining momentum across the country.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad too has expressed its frustration with the continuous delays in the matter by the Court and has asserted that the judicial route does not remain an appropriate option any longer. It has demanded a law be enacted in the Winter Session of the Parliament so that construction of the Temple at Ram Janambhoomi could soon begin.

Across social media as well, calls for Parliamentary intervention have been gaining momentum.
It’s a full majority Govt, use the Constitutional Power of Govt.
Pass an ordinance for building Grand Ram Mandir.
Time is Now!

If judiciary is playing politics then parliament should also resolve matters by taking political decisions be in on the Ram Mandir or reservation roster in the universities. Bring an ordinance or call a special session of the parliament. But take a stand…

It is time for an #Ordinance4RamMandir now.
Whether SC stays the ordinance or not, whether it gets passed in the RS or not, the govt must bring it. It will showcase our commitment to the cause. It may not be priority for SC, it is for the Hindus of India.

The ball is certainly in the Bharatiya Janata Party’s court now. With Lok Sabha elections next year, Ram Mandir appears all set to take centre stage once more.
