The Congress party on Wednesday ‘respectfully’ declined the invitation to attend the inauguration ceremony in Ayodhya. The grand old party accused the BJP of using Ayodhya as a ‘political project’ and called it a ‘BJP/RSS event’.

The party issued a statement ending speculations over the Congress’s stance on the issue of the Ram Temple event amid contradictory opinions coming from several INDIA bloc partners. The Congress said the consecration event has “clearly” become an RSS/BJP event.

“Lord Ram is worshipped by millions in our country. Religion is a personal matter. But the RSS/BJP have long made a political project of the temple in Ayodhya. The inauguration of the incomplete temple by the leaders of the BJP and the RSS has been obviously brought forward for electoral gain.”

Other Politicians on Attendance of Ceremony

The first to decline the invitation was CPM as party general secretary Sitaram Yechury said the party does not condone the politicisation of religious belief. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha chief Hemant Soren said he would like to attend the event if invited. Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee said the Ram Temple event on January 22 is a “gimmick show’.
