Watch | 'Dharma Sabha to Be Held in Ayodhya Is an Attempt to Destroy the Peace in India'

A large number of Shiv Sena and Vishwa Hindu Parishad members are set to converge in Ayodhya over the weekend for what is being called a massive ‘show of strength’. The situation is becoming increasingly volatile as the two are meeting in order to push the Centre to take action on the Ram Mandir issue ahead of the 2019 general elections.

Two events have been slated for Sunday. The Shiv Sena chief, Uddhav Thackeray will be in Ayodhya for a two-day visit and is slated to offer prayers at the Ram janmabhoomi, speak to the saints and participate in an aarti by the Sarayu river.

The bigger event, however, is being organised by the VHP – a dharma sansad on Sunday. The organisation indicated that this will be one of the largest congregation of saints and supporters of the Ram temple since 1992, when the Babri Masjid was demolished.

Apoorvanand discusses why these events are dangerous for India.
