The sensitive town hosted Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray, 5,000 Sainiks, and over a lakh Hindu activists who attended the Dharam Sabha organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Bajrang Dal and other Hindutva outfits, demanding the construction of the Ram Temple at the earliest. The tension was palpable. Ram Lalla's make-shift mandir was thronged by devotees coming from all corners of the country.
