Ram's work must be done: RSS chief

Ahead of Narendra Modi beginning a second term as prime minister, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has flagged his organisation's insistence on the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, saying "Ram's work" has been carried out. "Ram's work has to be done, and Ram's work will get done," he said here, in an apparent reference to the construction of a temple at the disputed spot in Ayodhya where the Babri Masjid stood.

He said Lord Ram lived in everyone, and "Ram ka kaam" (doing Ram's work) is everyone's responsibility. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief was speaking at an event here on Monday.

Earlier, spiritual leader Morari Bapu said the country is passing through a phase where Ram's work needed to be done. In his address, Mohan Bhagwat then asked participants to keep Morari Bapu's message in mind.

"Ram ka kaam karna hai, aur Ram ka kaam hokar rahega," he added. The RSS chief was in Udaipur from Friday to Monday to attend a "Sangh Shiksha Seva" training camp.
