Speaking on the issue of Ram Mandir, Ramdev said that the Ram temple row can only be resolved by introducing a law in the country's parliament.



Speaking to the media, Ramdev said, "The Mandir issue has been going on in the court for a long time and now Parliament needs to play a key role in this matter."

He added: "The issue of construction of Ram Mandir is not a political issue, but it's an issue related to the nation's self respect and dignity."

He said that he is pressurising the central government for the construction of Ram temple.
Speaking on the coming general elections, Baba Ramdev said that he will not be politically active for any party.
