| On March 14, 2002, Ramchandra Das Paramhans holds a news conference with Ashok Singhal (right), International President of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council) in Ayodhya. Paramhans, age 92, is a key supporter of the Hindu nationalist plan to build a temple on the site of the destroyed Babri Mosque. In this conference, he announced that his supporters would pray at the site the following day despite an Indian Supreme Court verdict forbidding them to do so. (According to Reuters, the prayers proceeded without incident on March 15.) |
