Agencies

Nagpur: BJP leader L K Advani said on Sunday that the party had not abandoned temple issue at any point of time and believing it has returned to Ram was wrong.

"We have never abandoned the God," Advani said, addressing party members on the last day of a three-day National Executive and National Council meeting of the BJP.

And he said to loud applause that the true victory of Ram would be when a 'magnificent temple' is constructed in Ayodhya.

Hindu kar sevaks brought down the 16th century Babri mosque in Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh in December 1992 claiming it was built at the site of Lord Ram's birthplace.
