Fascism in India Alive and Kicking

Not ruling out the option of promulgating an ordinance to construct the Ram temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said even if the issue could not be resolved by consensus, there were other options to explore.
Adityanath, however, maintained that he respected the judiciary and understood the constitutional constraints, a day after the Supreme Court ignored the UP government’s demand for early hearing in the Ram Janmabhoomi title suit.
“The issue should be settled as soon as possible as the responsibility of maintaining law and order in the state is on us. Though consensus remains the best solution, there are many other ways to thrash it out,” the CM said.
The Supreme Court on Monday ordered listing of appeals before an “appropriate bench” in the first week of January 2019 to fix a date for hearing while observing that “we have our own priorities”.
Adityanath said the majority community expected an early verdict in the Ram Janmabhoomi title suit while claiming that “justice delayed is justice denied”. “If justice is given in time, it is appreciated but when delayed it is equivalent to injustice,” Adityanath tweeted.
The demand by Hindutva outfits urging the Narendra Modi government to take the ordinance route to facilitate early construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya has grown only louder after the SC order. While the RSS said the temple “should be built immediately” and the Centre “should bring legislation to remove the obstacles”, the VHP stated the “wait for the temple cannot be eternal”.
Urging the people not to lose patience and join hands in the positive efforts being made in the direction, the CM said, “We respect all the saints and seers and honour their concerns. In this interim transitionary phase, the holy men should boost positive efforts to strengthen peace and harmony in the country,” Adityanath said.
