Out and out political event: Cong slams BJP over Ram temple consecration ceremony

Hitting out at the BJP, the Congress on Friday said the ruling party has made the Ram temple consecration ceremony an “out and out political event” which is being held without taking the advice of shankaracharyas and by disregarding religious procedures.

The opposition party also said religion is a personal matter and anyone is free to go to Ayodhya for ‘darshan’ but the invitation that was declined was for the January 22 event, of which “massive politicisation” is taking place.

Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters here, Congress media and publicity department head Pawan Khera alleged that the consecration ceremony is not being held keeping in mind religious procedures.
