Mumbai, June 7
Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray, accompanied by all 18 newly elected Lok Sabha members of his party, will visit Ayodhya on June 16 to offer prayers to Lord Ram.
This will be Thackeray’s second visit to the temple town in UP in the last seven months and the first after the declaration of the Lok Sabha poll results.
“Uddhav Thackeray will visit Ayodhya on June 16,” party's Rajya Sabha MP and spokesperson Sanjay Raut tweeted today.
The party, a BJP ally, had earlier announced Thackeray and the new MPs would visit Ayodhya before the start of Parliament session to make a fresh pitch for the construction of a Ram temple in the holy city.
A statement issued by the party had said Thackeray would offer prayers to “Ram Lalla” on June 16, a day ahead of beginning of the Parliament session.
The Sena chief had visited Ayodhya in November last year and reaffirmed his party's commitment to the construction of Ram Temple. — PTI
