Uddhav Thackeray To Visit Ayodhya Before Parliament Session
Thackeray had visited Ayodhya in November 2018 and demanded that the construction of Ram temple be at the disputed site.
Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray will be visiting Ayodhya with all the 18 Lok Sabha Members of Parliament of the party before the beginning of the monsoon session of Parliament, sources said.
Thackeray had visited Ayodhya in November 2018, ahead of the Lok Sabha elections and demanded that the construction of Ram temple be at the disputed site.
The ties between the Shiv Sena and its ally Bharatiya Janata Party were under strain then. The Shiv Sena later once again stitched up an alliance with the BJP for the Lok Sabha polls, but maintained that Ram temple was an important issue for it.
When contacted, Harshal Pradhan, a close aide of Uddhav Thackeray and media in-charge of the Sena, said, "It is true that Thackeray has decided to visit Ayodhya. The plan is to visit before the parliament session starts on June 17,” he said.
"There will be an announcement about the visit soon. Uddhav-ji will elaborate on the visit and the party's stand".
