The Babri Masjid versus Ram temple debate should be dropped now, he said, claiming that those who had opposed the construction of the temple were now Ram bhakts.
The Muslim community too was in favour of a temple being built in Ayodhya, he told mediapersons here.
"No power on earth will be able to stop the construction of a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya," he said.
Meanwhile, senior Hindutva leader Ram Vilas Vedanti, an accused in the case, said that he was among those who had pulled down the structure in Ayodhya.
BJP stalwarts L K Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti are to appear before a special CBI court here for framing of charges in the demolition case.
