In a recent statement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleged that the Congress party has issued an advisory to its units, urging them to remain silent on the contentious issue of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. According to Modi, the Congress fears that invoking the name of Lord Ram might lead to widespread chanting of “Ram-Ram.”
The Ram Temple issue has been a longstanding and emotionally charged topic in Indian politics. The construction of the temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya has been a subject of legal battles and public discourse for decades. The Supreme Court’s verdict in 2019 paved the way for the construction of the temple, but it remains a sensitive issue that can evoke strong reactions from various quarters.
Modi’s assertion comes amidst a politically charged atmosphere, with both the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the opposition parties positioning themselves ahead of upcoming state elections. The Congress party’s alleged advisory to avoid discussing the Ram Temple issue could have implications for its electoral strategy.
While the Congress has not officially confirmed or denied the existence of such an advisory, the statement by Prime Minister Modi has added fuel to the ongoing political debate surrounding the Ram Temple. As the election season heats up, it remains to be seen how different parties navigate this delicate issue and address the sentiments of their respective voter bases.
The Ram Temple continues to be a symbol of faith, identity, and historical significance for millions of Indians, and any discussion related to it carries immense weight in the country’s socio-political landscape. As the political discourse unfolds, citizens will closely watch how leaders handle this sensitive matter and whether it becomes a focal point in the upcoming elections.
