Hardwar, Dec 13: VHP today demanded that the Centre should enact a law in parliament to handover the whole disputed site in Ayodhya to Ram Janmbhoomi Trust before the Allahabad `Ardh Kumbh’ in 2007.

On the first day of the two-day `Dharm Sansad` of VHP, which began here, three resolutions were passed under which the saffron outfit threatened to launch an `aggressive` movement if the demand for handing over the disputed site was not met, its president Ashok Singhal told reporters.

Besides, VHP passed another resolution to fulfill its resolve for construction of a Ram temple at Ayodhya before the Allahabad Ardh Kumbh. For fulfilling this resolve, the VHP would organise a year-long programme in which Sadhus and saints belonging to different sects would participate.

Singhal said,<b> “VHP would observe `Shiri Ram Mahotsava` from March 30 under which saffron flags would be hoisted at each house of the Hindus so as to re-establish the Hindu nation”.</b>

<b>"If Muslim vote bank can control the governments at the Centre, then why not we can also create a vote bank of 80 crore Hindus so as to control the Central government”,</b> he said.

Stating that VHP was not affiliated to any political party, VHP supremo made a sarcastic comment on recent squabbles in BJP.

Singhal said that the ruling Congress was responsible for the unlocking of the dispute temple and the demolition of mosque also took place at a time when Congress was in power.

In a separate resolution, the VHP also demanded to make the Gita as the national book. On Tehri issue, VHP leader also demanded that one-third of the Bhagirathi river water should be released from the reservoir into the Ganga. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
