Pravin Togadia, founder and president of the Antarrashtriya Hindu Parishad–Rashtriya Bajrang Dal, invoked the Ram Mandir and declared that its construction was only the first phase of a larger struggle to restore the lost glory of Hindus. Togadia asserted that the movement will continue until temples are built in Mathura and Varanasi, referring to the disputed sites of Krishna Janmabhoomi and Kashi Vishwanath Temple. He urged for a continued Hindu mobilisation and unity until the demands are fulfilled and the welfare of every Hindu is secured.
