Inauguration of Ram Temple: Congress confused about participation, Aam Aadmi not yet decided

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary is also unlikely to attend the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Apart from Sonia Gandhi and Kharge, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury from the congress also got an invitation. However, unconfirmed reports said they have refused to attend the function. Meantime, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has clarified that no decision has been taken about attending the event. There was widespread criticism against the participation of the Congress.

Congress leader K C Venugopal had stated yesterday that they will not fall into any trap of the BJP. Venugopal's response was related to their participation in the Ayodhya Ram Temple consecration ceremony. Venugopal said the function in Ayodhya is a religious one and should not politicize it. Congress has an opinion whether to participate or not. Each party has its own opinion. There is no pressure on the Congress. He added that should ask KPCC president the stand on his statement.

Minister PA Muhammad Riaz criticized that the confusion in the Congress party regarding the Ayodhya temple consecration day dates back to the time when the Babri Masjid issue started. They are not ready to publicize their official position. Such issues are the answer to the question whether the Congress has shattered. In Congress, everyone has their own stand. However, Digvijaya Singh has already stated the position of the Congress. The minister also criticized that the secular minds are seeing such attitudes with pain. Meantime, the CPM is of the stand that they will not attend.
