In push for construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) is set to organise a massive rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan today. This comes days before the commencement of the Parliament's winter session. VHP, which has been demanding a bill for construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, said it was confident that it would be tabled in the upcoming winter session of Parliament. Hindu priests will congregate at the Ramlila Ground today to participate in 'dharam sansad', which will be addressed by RSS' executive head Suresh 'Bhaiyyaji' Joshi.
"It will be a massive gathering which will change the hearts of all those who are not in favour of bringing the bill for construction of a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya," VHP's spokesperson Vinod Bansal said.

If in any case the bill does not come in this winter session, then future course of action will be decided at the next 'dharam sansad', which will be held in Allahabad on the sidelines of 'mahakumbh' on January 31 and February 1, next year, its general secretary Surendra Jain said.
Besides Joshi, VHP's president Vishnu Sadashiv Kokje and its international working president Alok Kumar will also address the rally, Bansal said, adding that various saints will also address the gathering.
The organisation has been carrying out door-to-door campaign in the national capital and its adjoining areas for making this rally a grand success.
