Tears, hugs and happiness; Pran Pratishtha an epochal moment for Uma Bharti, Sadhvi Rithambhara

AYODHYA: On Monday, Uma Bharti and Sadhvi Ritambhara, who were instrumental in the Ram Temple movement, travelled to Ayodhya to attend Ram Lalla's Pran Pratishtha ceremony at the Shri Ram Janambhoomi Mandir. Sadhvi Ritambhara and Uma Bharti hugged each other. When they finally met, they sobbed and gave each other heartfelt embraces. Additionally, they congratulated one another on the eagerly anticipated event that is set to happen today. Along with a number of well-known BJP and Sangh Parivar officials, including L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Vinay Katiyar, Ashok Singhal, Giriraj Kishore, and Vishnu Hari Dalmiya, the CBI charged both of them in the Babri Masjid destruction case. On September 30, 2020, a special court found them all not guilty. The 2019 ruling by the Supreme Court resolved the dispute surrounding the mosque at the Ayodhya temple. The Supreme Court ruled in favour of the Hindus, paving the path for the construction of a Ram Temple at the contentious location in Ayodhya. Additionally, it mandated that the Sunni Waqf Board be given a 5-acre tract of land so that a mosque may be constructed.   [caption id="attachment_9414" align="alignnone" width="300"] Tears, hugs and happiness; Pran Pratishtha an epochal moment for Uma Bharti, Sadhvi Rithambhara[/caption]    

“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."
