Amidst the agreements and disagreements of leaders in Congress party towards the Ram Mandir event, congress former chief Rahul Gandhi says “Lord Ram is love, they can never appear in hate.”
His statement following the Bhumi Pujan event in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagavat performed rituals is showing a clear contrast within the grand old secular party.
Earlier Madhya Pradesh former CM Kamal Nath and Digvijay Singh had supported the event and conveyed their disappointment for not being invited. Later AICC secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra appeared with a ‘soft’ approach towards the event saying the occasion will be for ‘national unity’. Congress MP T.N. Prathapan and MLA V.T. Balram, both from Kerala, had criticized congress leaders for supporting the Sangh Parivar sponsored event. T.N. Prathapan had written to party chief Sonia Gandhi conveying his ‘concerns’ in the issue. In a facebook post, Mr. Prathapan said: “Lord Ram of Hindu Dharma won’t be happy to build a temple after demolishing a Masjid in his name.”
