All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday challenged the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led central government to bring an ordinance on Ram temple after the Supreme Court adjourned the Ayodhya case till January 2019.
"Why don't they bring it (ordinance on Ram temple)? Let them do it. Every time they are threatening that they will bring an ordinance. How long they will bluff people?" Owaisi said.
He, however, said that everyone has to accept the apex court's verdict.
"I challenge the government to bring an ordinance. How long they will bluff people? The country will run on the Constitution. You are in power. I challenge you to bring it (ordinance)," Owaisi added.
Earlier in the day, the apex court adjourned the Ayodhya title suit till January next year to fix the date of hearing in the matter.
The top court's decision came after hearing a petition challenging Allahabad High Court's 2010 verdict which ruled that the disputed land in Ayodhya be partitioned equally among three parties - the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla.
