Congress decision’ to decline Ram temple invite exposes its opposition to Hindu religion: BJP

 

 

 

 

 

THE BJP on Thursday slammed the Congress’ decision to decline the invitation to its three top leaders to attend the Ram temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya, claiming it has exposed the party’s inherent opposition to India’s culture and Hindu religion. Due to its feelings of “jealousy, malice and inferiority complex” towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Congress had gone to the extent of opposing the country and is now opposing God, BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi told reporters. The Ram temple in Ayodhya symbolises the highest values of Indian traditions and culture, he said, but for the Congress and other Opposition parties with a similar mindset extremist politics is more important, he alleged.

 

‘Like Pt Nehru did with Somnath Temple’: Himanta: ASSAM Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday said that the Congress was given an opportunity to “reduce its sin” but with the party declining the invitation to the Ram temple consecration ceremony, history will continue to judge it as “anti-Hindu”. “The @VHPDigital (Vishva Hindu Parishad) had given the Congress party a golden opportunity to reduce its sin by extending their leadership an invitation to attend the Shri Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha Mahotsava,” he posted on X. “...Although, in my humble view, they did not deserve such an invitation at the first place for their views against the Ram Mandir from the very beginning,” he added.

 

Sarma said that by accepting this invitation, the Congress could have symbolically offered an apology to the “Hindu Samaj” “However, like Pt Nehru did with the Somnath Temple, the Congress leadership did the same with the Ram Temple. History will continue to judge them as an anti-Hindu party,” he said. K’taka CM Siddaram-aiah backs Cong: KARNATAKA CM Siddaramaiah on Thursday endorsed the Congress high command’s decision not to attend the consecration ceremony of Ram temple in Ayodhya, saying the BJP has turned a religious event into a political affair.
