VHP unveils construction plan

KUMBH NAGAR, JAN. 21. Outlining the action plan for Ram temple construction at the disputed site in Ayodhya, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad today declared that the ``faithfuls'' who had demolished the structure could build a temple there.

The action plan to generate public opinion for temple construction would commence with Shivarchana (prayer of Lord Shiva) and jalabhishek at temples across the country on September 18 this year, the VHP international president, Mr. Ashok Singhal, told reporters here.

The Shivarchana would continue till October 16. In the second stage beginning November 26, ``yagnas'' would be organised across the country.

If the Government failed to hand over the land at Ayodhya for construction of the temple before the deadline of March 12, 2002, the sants would ``certainly compel the authorities to do so'', Mr. Singhal said.
