Udupi: Pejawar Mutt seer Sri Vishwesha Theertha Swami said that Sri Rama Janmabhoomi is the right of Hindus and it is impossible to give away the land to construct a mosque. The seer said progressive thinkers have failed to understand his approach and mindset. He said that Ram Mandir will be built at Sri Rama Janmabhoomi site as there are inscriptions that prove the presence of temple in the area.

The seer said he cannot dissociate himself from Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Committee as he has been a part of the committee since the time of its origin. At the same time, he said he also feel that the land should be the home for a Ram Mandir.

"Let the progressive thinkers reconsider their opinion by working out possibilities. Kashmir is India’s right. Similarly, Ram Mandir is the right of Hindus. The privilege of secularism should have limitations. I also want to make it clear that I have no aspirations to envisage the country as purely the land of Hindus," he added.

Replying to a query on the violence taking place at Kalladka in Bantwal, the seer said that there is a need for an urgent peace meeting. He said that the political leaders should forget their differences and join hands to maintain peace in the region.
