The Bharatiya Janata Party lashed out at the Congress party as it declined the invitation to attend the Ayodhya Ram temple’s ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony on January 22.
BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said ”This is Nehru’s Congress, this is not Gandhi’ s Congress. Mahatma Gandhi used to sing ‘Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram’ and today Congress is not attending the ‘pran pratishtha’ ceremony. This shows Congress is against Hindu religion and Hindutva”.
The Congress has dubbed the ceremony as a BJP/RSS event and said that though religion is a personal matter, the BJP and the RSS have made a political project of the Ayodhya Ram temple and have done so for electoral gain.
Union Minister Smriti Irani said that the Congress declining the invitation reflects their anti-Sanatan mindset.
