Paramhans opposes HC suggestion for excavation

Ram Janambhoomi Trust president Mahant Ramchandra Paramhans on Saturday opposed Allahabad high court's suggestion for excavation at the disputed site to ascertain whether a temple had existed there, saying such a move is against vaishnav dharma.

"The Ram lala in the makeshift temple cannot be shifted to facilitate excavation as it has been existing there for long and no court or government will be allowed to effect shifting of the deities as it goes against the tenets of Hindu religion," he told reporters in Ayodhya.

"Any such move will be against the vaishnav dharma and the Hindu community will not accept that," the Mahant said, adding 'there should be no doubt about the existence of the Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya'.

The Mahant claimed that old artifacts and a carved black stone structure with engraving of Hindu deities were found in the debris of the demolished structure.

"These relics are still kept in the custody of the Faizabad district administration," he said.

He said the three judges of the bench hearing the Ramjanambhoomi-Babri Masjid title suits had visited Ayodhya recently to see for themselves the ground realities.
