Nana Patole’s remarks on Ram Mandir puts Congress in fresh trouble
Amid various controversial statements coming from Congress leaders, Maharashtra Congress Chief Nana Patole on Friday stoked a fresh row as he made a call for the purification of the Ram Mandir if the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance comes to power.
Patole’s remarks on Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir have stirred fresh controversy besides escalating the conundrum that the party already finds itself steeped in.
He said that the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya would be purified by the Shankaracharyas if the opposition I.N.D.I.A bloc came to power in the Lok Sabha polls.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi didn’t follow the right rituals before performing Pran Pratistha ceremony. The Shankaracharyas also vented their disagreement with it. People also want purification of the temple,” Patole told media persons.
“All the four Shankaracharyas will purify the Ram Mandir. Ram Darbar will be established in that place. It is not Lord Ram’s idol there, but the child form of Ram Lalla,” the Congress leader said.
He claimed that the Shankaracharyas had opposed the Pran Pratistha ceremony then also but the BJP and Prime Minister ignored it.
