Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramaniam Swamy has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggesting the government to bring an ordinance on Ram Janmbhoomi’s ownership and pass a law regarding the same.

“Govt can bring an ordinance on ownership of Ramjanmbhoomi land & thus pass a law to hand over the land to an eminent body of religious leaders especially those versed in Agama Sastra, with a direction to build Ram temple,” wrote Swamy in the letter.

“The existing claimants can be duly compensated for the loss of their claim on the title of the land,” he added in the letter. 

While speaking to the media regarding the letter, he said lawyers influenced by Congress are trying to halt the progress of the case. Thus, he has suggested the government to make the constitution and law ‘weapon’.

“Congress-influenced lawyers have the agenda to halt the progress in the case. Therefore I thought we must make Constitution and law our weapon - bring an ordinance,” 
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court had rejected all the intervention pleas, including Swamy’s, in the Ram Janmabhoomi land dispute case. Swamy had sought to pray at the temple citing it as his fundamental right. 

“My fundamental rights are higher than my property rights,” Swamy had said.

Earlier, the apex court had said to deal with the issue considering it as a case of ‘pure land dispute’
