'This is stubborn behaviour'

Shiv Sena said, " name of n Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi who prounced a verdict in favour of Ram Temple should have been somewhere in list of special invitees but neir Ranjan Gogoi r Shiv Sena's name who demolished Babri Masjid is included in list. This is a kind of stubborn behaviour that body else should get credit for 'Bhumi Pujan' ceremony." 

" leers and workers of Shivsena, VHP, Bajrang Dal and RSS faced Lathis, teardrop gas and bullets, yet proceeded with a vision to resolve to build a temple at Ram Janmbhoomi in Ayodhya," it ded.

Shiv Sena also alleged that BJP leer Dr Subramanian Swamy has given credit for Ram Mandir to former Prime Ministers PV Narsimha Rao and Rajiv Gandhi. "But we have to accept that verdict has come in Modi’s tenure and today we are witnessing golden moment. It has to be accepted. If it h t been so, CJI Ranjan Gogoi, who has given a decision in favour of Ram Temple, would t have become a member of Rajya Sabha immediately after his retirement.," editorial said.
