The Saffron camp took Ram Navami- Hanuman Jayanti celebratio­ns to the heart of Kolkata, where hundreds took part in a rally on Tuesday.

Leaders of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) expressed confidence in Modi-Yogi combine for constructi­on of Ram temple in Ayodhya.

They stressed that a law should be passed in the Parliament for the constructi­on . They also targeted Mamata Banerjee and Trinamool Congress government for underminin­g the aspiration­s of Hindus in Bengal.

Ram Navami-Hanuman Jayanti is being celebrated like never before in Bengal, as part of a push by saffron camp in Bengal. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee has already targeted BJP over the issue and police have lodged FIRs against organisers for brandishin­g swords in the rallies.

“We have full faith in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath. Their commitment towards constructi­on of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is no less than our commitment and dedication. We have full faith in the government and we feel that the only way left is to pass a legislatio­n soon to build Ram Mandir in Ayodhya,” said Surendra Jain internatio­nal joint general secretary of VHP.
