Shiv Sena party members on Friday, took the air-way to reach Ayodhya in numbers to take their Ram Temple aspirations forward while chanting the slogan- “Pehele Mandir, fir Sarkar” (First the temple, and then government)

On November 22, Mr Thackeray collected soil from Shivneri Fort, the birthplace of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, before making way for his visit to Ayodhya. 

Speaking to the media about his decision to visit Ayodhya, the Shiv Sena chief said, "This soil is not just mud but the sentiments of the entire Hindu community and when the sentiments of Hindus unite, definitely the process of constructing the Ram mandir will find speed. And it will be built as soon as possible. Some seers over there are going to give me their blessings, and to seek those blessings I am going over there.

Ever since the Supreme Court bench, headed by CJI Ranjan Gogoi adjourned the hearing of the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit in October to the first week of January, voices have grown stronger demanding quick resolution on this matter.
