We don't want to demolish mosques and build temples, we want to build temples where there were temples.

- Dhirendra Shastri's chilling reply to Owaisi

- Earlier, Owaisi had ordered Muslim youth to be vigilant against attempts to seize mosques.

New Delhi: As the days for the inauguration of the Ramjanmabhoomi temple draw closer, several factors have been pouring their opinions. Among them, Asaduddin Owaisi had ordered the Muslim youth to be alert against the central government's attempts to seize their mosques. In response to this, Bageshwardham, Pithadhiswar Dhirendra Shastri today (Friday) gave an emotional reply to Asaduddin Owaisi, founder president of All India Majlis-e Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and said that such statements of his only reveal his fear. But we want to demolish mosques and build temples. No. We want to build temples where there were temples earlier.

On January 1, Owaisi had already ordered the Muslim youth to be vigilant against the actions of the BJP government at the Center as the days of the inauguration of the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple drew near. It was also said that you should go to the mosques and recite the Qur'an-e-Sharif regularly. Young people I say from my heart that we have lost our mosque. Aren't you so heartbroken?

Speaking at a program in Bhawaninagar, he further said that the mosque where we once sat and read the Quran for 500 years is no longer ours. I am telling you young people that there are plans to demolish three or four more mosques, among which is the Golden Masjid of Delhi. After years of struggle we have reached this position. So you have to pay attention to some things, be ready, stand united. Unity is a true blessing.

Giving an emotional response to Owaisi's harsh word experiments, Bageshwaradham Pidhadhishwar Dhirendra Shastri further said that Lord Shri Ram is not an issue of politics. In fact, politics is driven by religion. Religion does not run with politics. People of the country do not sleep. They are aware and can see truth or falsehood. They can see everything. Along with this, he also asked the voters to vote as per their wish. In reply to a question asked by the journalists, he said that, with the name of Lord Shri Ram, policy is connected, pride is connected, unity is connected, peace is connected. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking success for Ram Mandir. Dhirendra Shastri said about the statements of the opposition that the Shriram temple is not being built to spread casteism, but is being built for those who have faith in Lord Shriram.

It is worth mentioning that, In the inauguration ceremony of Sriram Janmabhoomi temple on January 22, Bagishvardham pidhadhishwar Dhirendra Shastri has also been invited as a special guest along with other special guests.
