BJP on Saturday underlined its commitment to the cause of building Ram Temple in Ayodhya but said the construction had to be done by the Ramjanambhoomi Trust and not the party as it is not a “construction company”.

“BJP is committed that a temple should be built in Ayodhya after religious leaders of both sides reach a consensus through dialogue,” BJP Vice President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said here.

“The task of building it (temple), however, has to be undertaken by the Ramjanambhoomi Trust as BJP is not a construction company,” he told PTI.

Naqvi was issuing clarification after his comments to Gulf News were subjected to various interpretations by sections of the media.
