Ram temple at Ayodhya is a symbol of Sena's sacrifice for Hindutva and the party would fulfil the promise of constructing it fully, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray has said.
"Ram temple is a symbol of Sena's sacrifice for Hindutva," an editorial in party mouthpiece Saamana said yesterday. Thackeray is the newspaper's editor.
Crediting Sena for bringing down the Masjid, Thackeray said, "Kothari brothers, who demolished the domes of Masjid and hosted a saffron flag there were Shiv Sainiks and I am proud of them."
Referring to SP MLA Abu Asim Azmi's announcement to rebuild Babri Masjid at Ayodhya, Thackeray said, "if someone is dreaming of rebuilding Babri Masjid, Sena has the power to shatter those dreams."
Thackeray described the assault on Azmi in Maharashtra Assembly by MLAs belonging to MNS as a "mild slap".
Azmi was attacked for taking oath in Hindi, ignoring a warning by Raj to take the oath in Marathi.
