After Prime Minister Narendra Modi accepted the formal invitation from Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust to attend the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, slated for January 22, a number of Congress leaders have raised questions. Congress chief Salman Khurshid requested, “Is the invitation going to just one party? Is God now limited to one party? The invitation should be for everyone.”
Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Kamal Nath mentioned, “Ram temple belongs to every person in India and it is a great symbol of our Sanatan Dharma. Does the temple belong only to BJP?” Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury mentioned, “Ram mandir has nothing to do with politics. Indians have been worshipping Lord Ram since thousands of years. Suddenly Modi Ji have become a Ram Bhakt and he is trying to divide people on the basis of religion”.
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Sanjay Raut mentioned, “there was no need to invite the Prime Minister. As PM, he would have definitely gone on his own. Thousands of kar sevaks sacrificed their lives for Ram Janmabhoomi. Shiv Sena, Bajrang Dal, VHP were there. Advani Ji took out rath yatra. Prime Minister will go there but I think this seems to be part of preparation for elections.” VHP president Alok Kumar reminded that it was Congress-led UPA authorities which had filed an affidavit in Supreme Court refusing to just accept Lord Ram as a part of Indian historical past and had described him as a mythological determine. Trust normal secretary Champat Rai angrily mentioned, “those organizing a son’s wedding will decide whom to invite and whom not to.”
Nobody needs to be shocked over the calls for of Congress leaders that they need to even be invited to the ceremony. Congress leaders additionally allege that Modi is making an attempt to make Ram temple a problem earlier than the elections. Lord Ram belongs to every one in every of us, however Congress leaders have in all probability forgotten previous historical past. Former Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, with a view to appease Muslim voters, received Muslim Personal Law amended in Parliament to overturn Supreme Court verdict in Shah Bano case. It was his authorities, with a view to appease Hindus, ordered opening up of the locked Ram Janmabhoomi for worship of Ram Lalla idol. Both these steps have been a part of electoral ways. I nonetheless keep in mind: Just earlier than the 1989 Lok Sabha elections, V P Singh had tried to arrange ‘shilanyas’ (basis laying) of Ram Janmabhoomi temple through the use of the assistance of pro-Congress Shankaracharya Swaroopanand Saraswati.
The Shankaracharya had already left for Ayodhya, however Mulayam Singh Yadav needed to mission himself because the champion of secularism. He ordered the arrest of Shankaracharya, to appease Muslim voters. Later in 1991, Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad, with a view to appease Muslim vote financial institution, ordered arrest of L Ok Advani in Samastipur to cease his Ayodhya-bound rath yatra. In the Supreme Court, Congress-led UPA authorities in 2007, filed an affidavit by way of Archaeological Survey of India in Ram Sethu case earlier than the Supreme Court, through which it was mentioned, “Valmiki Ramayana and Ramcharit Manas are mythological texts..which cannot be said to be historical records to incontrovertibly prove the existence of the characters”. After describing Lord Ram as a mythological character, it’s now shocking that the leaders of the identical get together are wanting to attend the consecration ceremony of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Already, there are media reviews {that a} shut affiliate of Congress chief Rahul Gandhi has already made a recce of Ayodhya and has met non secular leaders. Very quickly, Rahul might go to Ayodhya to pay obeisance to Lord Ram. This signifies a giant paradigm shift within the thought technique of Congress leaders. There was a time when the identical leaders used to keep away from the very point out of Lord Ram, fearing backlash from Muslim voters. Times have now modified. Most of the mainstream events are invoking the identify of Lord Ram. Already opposition events have begun to understand that the BJP goes to drag out all stops to make the Ram Temple consecration ceremony a grand success, and it will probably reap a wealthy electoral harvest. It is, on this context, that we hear leaders like Kamal Nath saying, ‘Ram Temple belongs not solely to BJP, however to each Indian’. Times have actually modified.
