 In response to Sonia Gandhi's rejection of the invitation to the historic Ayodhya  event, Union minister and BJP leader Hardeep Singh Puri warned on Wednesday that the Congress party will regret its choice to skip the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple on January 22. Additionally, he charged that the Congress party was mired in its own "rhetoric".

 

"They are mired in their own discourse...Why should we give them any weight? If they don't go, they will regret it," Puri said.

The Congress party's decision, according to BJP leader Nalin Kohli, wasn't shocking because they had rejected the existence of Lord Ram.

"During the last few decades, the Congress has done nothing to establish an Ayodhya temple. They postponed the Supreme Court hearing and denied that Lord Ram ever existed. Thus, it should not be shocking that the Congress party has formally declared that it would not be attending Ram Mandir Pran Pratistha "added the speaker.

Manjinder Singh Sirsa, the national secretary of the BJP, attacked the Congress for attributing its decision to the BJP.

"It is incorrect to quote the Congress that this is a BJP event, but that is their party's attitude in refusing to attend the Ram Mandir Pran Pratistha. I disagree with what they stated ".

The invitation to Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury was declined by the Congress party on Wednesday, citing the temple's political project status as a result of the BJP and RSS.

Jairam Ramesh, general secretary of the Congress, claimed that the BJP was using the Ram Temple for political purposes.

 Millions of people worship Lord Rama in our nation. Religion is a deeply personal topic. However, the Ayodhya temple has long been a political initiative for the RSS/BJP. It is clear that the BJP and RSS officials pushed for the opening of the unfinished temple in order to win political points. Following the ruling of the 2019 Supreme Court and respecting the feelings of the millions of people who worship Lord Ram, Shri Mallikarjun Kharge, He released a statement saying, "Smt. Sonia Gandhi and Shri Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury have respectfully declined the invitation to what is clearly an RSS/BJP event."

The installation of Lord Ram's statues inside the temple will be marked by a ceremony that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other prominent members of the BJP will attend.

Sitaram Yechury, the general secretary of the CPI(M), declined the VHP's invitation to the temple earlier this month, accusing the BJP of combining religion and politics.
