Shankaracharya Swami Sparupanand Saraswati had surrounded VHP and BJP in the name of Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas. He had said- BJP-VHP want to make their office in the name of the temple in Ayodhya, which is not acceptable to us. Shankaracharya is the supreme among Hindus. We are the Supreme Court of Hindus. The temple should have a religious form, but these people want to give it a political form which is not acceptable to us.
