Ahead of Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray’s visit and Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s (VHP) "Dharma Sansad" to push for the construction of Ram Temple, Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya turned into a fortress with massive security around disputed land. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a right-wing organisation and the ideological patriarch of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is also scheduled to organise a ‘Hunkar’ rally in Ayodhya on Sunday. As many as 42 companies of Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC), five companies of Rapid Action Force, Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) along with extended police force have been deployed in the city to tackle any untoward incident. A day before Thackeray’s visit, Sena leader Sanjay Raut raised the temperature in the politically sensitive Ayodhya with his remark that it took just 17 minutes to demolish Babri Mosque but an ordinance paving the way for construction of Ram temple is taking too long.
