Ayodhya Movement

Oblivious of Congress's history and the part played by it in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, both obtrusively and unobtrusively, the current leadership of the Grand Old Party has withdrawn into a self-glorifying cocoon.

Ahead of the Ram temple consecration ceremony here, the movement of trains will be affected from January 16 to 22 due to the doubling of tracks and electrification being done on top priority, a senior Railways official said on Monday.

Calling Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra a "unique and historic" movement, Rajasthan Health Minister Parsadi Lal Meena said the Congress's yatra is much bigger than Lord Rama's padyatra from Ayodhya to Sri Lanka.

Veteran BJP leader Uma Bharti, a stalwart of the Ram temple movement, tweeted today that she would travel to Ayodhya but avoid the groundbreaking event on Wednesday as a precaution against the coronavirus. She said she would visit the site of the temple only after the event was over.

BJP veteran LK Advani, who turned the sporadic demands for a Ram temple at Ayodhya into a mass movement from the late 1980s, today welcomed the Supreme Court's landmark verdict, saying he stands "vindicated". The court has awarded the disputed 2.77 acres of land to Ram Lalla, the infant Lord Ram who is a respondent in the case, for a temple and an ...

Calling the construction of the temple as her "dream", Uma Bharti told ANI, "I have actively participated in Ram Janambhoomi Andolan. Hearing of a case is also underway in connection with it, on me and LK Advani Ji, and I am proud of it. The construction of Ram Temple is my dream and whatever initiative is required from my end I am ready for it."
