Akhara Parishad demands inclusion in Ram temple trust
The Akhil Bhartiya Akhara Parishad (ABAP) has now demanded that it should be included in the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. ABAP chief Mahant Narendra Giri made the demand before Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat, whom he met in Chitrakoot recently. ABAP is the apex-decision-making body of the 13 recognised Hindu religious akharas or monastic orders of the country.
"On behalf of ABAP, I have asked Bhagwat that the Parishad should be included in the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The ABAP president and general secretary should be included in the Trust," he told reporters.
