Mathura, January 22

An organisation here has demanded the installation of a statue of demon king Ravan at the Ram temple in Ayodhya.

In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Lankesh Bhakta Mandal made the demand.

“The Lankesh Bhakta Mandal will bear the cost incurred on the installation of the statue,” Omveer Saraswat, president of the outfit said on Friday.

A similar letter has also been dispatched to the president of the Ramjanmabhoomi Nyas, he said.

Saraswat said the installation of the statue at the Ram temple in Ayodhya will be a befitting tribute to Ravan, an authority in Hindu rituals. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
