New Delhi: The Congress party has rejected the invitation for Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha on 22 January. All the big leaders of Congress including Sonia Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge will not go to Ayodhya. Last month, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Congress Parliamentary Party President Adhir Ranjan Choudhary had received an invitation from the Ram Janmabhoomi Trust for the inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
A statement has been issued by the Congress Party in this regard. The statement said that BJP and RSS have over the years made the Ram temple in Ayodhya a political project. A half-built temple is being inaugurated only for electoral gains.
Congress said in the statement that crores of Indians worship Lord Ram. Religion has been a personal matter of man, but BJP and RSS have made Ram Temple a political affair. It is clear from this that a half-built temple is being inaugurated only for electoral gains.
