The Vishwa Hindu Parishad is convening a meeting of its Dharmasansad at the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, on Friday. The announcement of a date for the construction of Ram temple is on its agenda. Meanwhile, several sadhus of Akhara Parishad will be boycotting this meeting.
On the other hand, senior BJP leaders want the announcement of the date for the construction of Ram temple to be postponed. The sadhus have accused the VHP of politicizing the Ayodhya controversy.
