Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a public rally in Udhampur, made a significant statement about the Ram Mandir issue. He clarified that for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Ram Mandir has never been and will never be an election issue.
“The struggle for Ram temple was ongoing even before the BJP was formed,” PM Modi stated, highlighting the long-standing cultural and historical importance of the issue. He recalled the times when Indian temples were destroyed by foreign invaders and how the Indian people fought to protect their places of worship.
PM Modi also took a dig at the Congress and its allies, accusing them of indifference towards the issue. “The leaders of Congress and its allies lived in big bungalows but when it came to changing the tent of Ram Lalla, they used to turn their backs,” he said.
The Prime Minister’s speech in Udhampur is part of his ongoing engagement with the public on matters of national importance. His comments on the Ram Mandir issue are expected to resonate with a large section of the population who see the issue as a matter of national pride and cultural identity, rather than just a political tool.
As India continues to navigate the complexities of the Ram Mandir issue, PM Modi’s statement serves as a reminder of the cultural and historical significance of the issue, beyond the realm of electoral politics. His address in Udhampur is seen as a call for cultural unity and national pride.
