He added that the Union government must pass a law for building Ram mandir at Ayodhya. "If the government did not allow Hindus to buil the mandir, then the VHP members would intensify its agitation," he said.

A memorandum has been submitted to the President of India through the Deputy Commissioner of Dakshin Kannada, Puranik said that preventing the yatra amounted to curbing the fundamental rights of the Hindus.

He also alleged that the UP administration was anti-democratic in nature and had insulted Hindus.
