“Does Ram belong to Hindus, BJP, RSS only?” Farooq Abdullah

MUMBAI: Prior to Jammu & Kashmir Farooq Abdullah, a member of parliament (MP) and chief minister, questioned whether Lord Ram is limited to a single temple and is only associated with Hindus on Sunday regarding the Pran Pratishtha ritual at the Ram temple in Ayodhya. Speaking at an event celebrating the birth anniversary of Madhu Dandavate, Abdullah voiced his worry that Hindus, who make up seventy percent of India's population, are being led to feel as though they are in danger. Is Ram the god of the BJP, the RSS, and just Hindus? Is Ram found exclusively in Ayodhya? And do you need an invitation to go there? All people belong to Lord Ram. Everywhere you look, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, you may find Ram temples.We are unable to acknowledge Lord Ram, even though he is present in every particle of our hearts," he remarked. The J-K CM went on to say that there wouldn't have been hostility if people had acknowledged Lord Ram. "Hatred would not have existed if we had recognised. "Ram Raj" is Mahatma Gandhi's term for equality. Are the seventy percent of Hindus in our nation in danger? However, it was implied that they were in danger," he continued. On January 22, Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to perform the 'Pran Pratishtha' of the new Ram Lalla idol. Inside the temple's sanctum santorum is the idol of Lord Ram in his child form, created by Mysuru sculptor Arun Yogiraj. However, Farooq Abdullah claimed that the nation "failed to make the Election Commission independent" when discussing the electronic voting machine (EVM). "I was the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir when this voting machine (EVM) was introduced, and we in the cabinet had inquired as to whether 'chori' could be done with this machine. And they replied, "Yes, it is possible." So why was this machine needed to be brought? We are to blame for this. Who will hear us when we yell, "Machine chor hai," today? He continued, "We neglected to make the Election Commission independent when we ought to have."
