Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) has organised a 'Dharma Sabha' on November 25 in Ayodhya. Top saints and representatives of various Hindu groups would be participating in the event. Around two lakh people are expected to attend the event.

Speaking to India Today TV, Sharad Sharma of the VHP said, "In the Dharma Sabha which has been organised on Sunday [November 25] more than 100 saints would be participating including prominent figures like Swami Parmanand, Jagatguru Hansdevacharya and Jagatguru Ramanandcharya. The president of Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas Mahant Nritya Gopal Das will also be present. We are expecting a gathering of around two lakh people from different parts of the country."

"We have already made it clear that the legislation in Parliament should be brought immediately for Ram temple construction. This meeting has been called to convey the sentiments of the Hindu community and to open eyes of those people who are silent over this issue. Whatever prominent saints will decide in the Dharma Sabha shall be followed by us. Another grand meeting of the saints has been called during the beginning of Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj next year," added the VHP spokesperson.

Ahead of the meeting the VHP has already declared that 25,000 volunteers will be recruited by Bajrang Dal to escalate the Ram temple movement. The VHP workers from across the country have already started coming in Ayodhya since last one week to participate in the mega meeting of saints. The VHP has also declared that the Dharma Sabha which has been organised is not a political event putting an end to the speculation of Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray sharing the stage with saints on Sunday.
