Tiwari demands construction of int’l airport in Ayodhya

Delhi Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) president Manoj Tiwari demanded establishment of an international airport in Ayodhya on Sunday, saying the Uttar Pradesh town would become a centre of faith for Hindus the world over after a grand Ram temple is constructed there.

The Supreme Court in a historic verdict on Saturday backed the construction of a Ram temple by a government trust at the disputed site in Ayodhya.

Tiwari, in a letter to Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, said, “I request you to consider a proposal for construction of an international airport in Ayodhya so that people across the globe can visit it directly.”

Ayodhya can also be developed as one of the top religious tourist destinations in the world, giving a fillip to overall development of the region, he said.
