The refusal of the Congress party leadership to attend the Ayodhya Pran Pratishtha event marking the inauguration of the Ram Mandir is drawing attention and causing a stir. The event, which symbolized a significant moment after a long legal and social battle, saw widespread participation and celebration across the country.
Prominent figures, including senior leaders of the Congress party, were invited to the ceremony. However, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and other senior leaders such as Sonia Gandhi and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury chose to decline the invitation. In their official statement, the Congress party stated, “Religion is a personal matter. But the RSS/BJP have long made a political project of the temple in Ayodhya.”
The decision of the Congress leadership to boycott the event is being seen as a missed opportunity for the party to connect with the sentiments of the people and engage in a significant religious and cultural event. This move is raising questions about the party’s stance on religious matters and its strategy to engage with diverse communities in the country.
