No need for govt to set up trust for Ram temple as one already exists: Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas chief

There is no need for the government to set up a new trust for the Ram Temple as directed by the Supreme Court (SC) because the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas already exists, its president Mahant Nritya Gopal Das said on Wednesday.

Ram Janambhoomi Nyas is an organisation run by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP).

Mahant Nritya Gopal Das said in a statement that there is no need of forming a new trust. "The trust [Ram Janambhoomi Nyas] already exists. We can give a shape to it and new members can be added as per need," he said.

Other seers associated with the Ram temple movement expressed differing views on the establishment of the trust.
