BJP MPs raise demand for Ayodhya Ram Mandir during parliamentary party meeting

As Hindutva organisations mount pressure on the Centre for a law to build a Ram temple in Ayodhya, two senior union ministers--Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari--Tuesday called for patience and favoured the construction at the disputed site through mutual consent.
Gadkari also asserted that the demand for the Ram temple is not a "communal or religious" issue while Rajnath Singh, the union home minister, counselled patience when some party's MP's wanted to know the government's stand at the meeting of the BJP parliamentary party.
