GANDHINAGAR: Former VHP leader Pravin Togadia today ended his “indefinite fast” by saying that he will now travel across the country to build pressure vis-a-vis his demands, including building a grand Ram Temple at Ayodhya.

Togadia had begun his fast here on Tuesday in support of the Ram Temple and other issues.

Togadia, a diabetic, said there was deterioration in his health and hence he was calling off his hunger strike.

“I am calling off my fast at the insistence of ‘sants’ who called on me. They have also asked me to resolve to work for the welfare of Hindus.”

The former Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader lost three kg in weight. Doctors present at the fast venue feared that his kidneys could be affected due to fasting and require hospitalisation.

Togadia was demanding that Parliament pass a law to facilitate the construction of a grand Ram Temple at the site of the former Babri Masjid in Uttar Pradesh.

He said he will also campaign for an end to debt of farmers, employment for youths and women welfare.
