The statement came in the wake of Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh stating the NDA government can't bring law on Ram temple without majority in Rajya Sabha.
Addressing the Hindu Dharma Sansad at Ramlila Maidan here tonight, Shankaracharya of Dwarkapeeth Swaroopananda Saraswati asked BJP leaders to stop talking about construction of Ram temple.
"We request you (Singh) with folded hands, don't talk about Ram Janmabhoomi. We will build Ram temple at the spot," Shankaracharya said.
"It is Ram janmbhoomi and if the Supreme Court gives its verdict soon... Because they have agreed it is Ram Janmabhoomi, but some portion has been given to Muslims while their plea has been rejected... If that is decided, then we will... Without any political party... The saints, great souls, gentlemen will construct Ram temple at the spot of Lord's birth.
The Sansad also passed a resolution in this regard.
Amongst other resolutions adopted by the Sansad are for ban on cow slaughter, imparting knowledge of 'Ramayana' and 'Mahabharata' to youngsters at educational institutes, and for imposing ban on alcohol.
Hindu Dharma Sansad is a gathering of various Hindu religious bodies and oraganisations.
