JAMMU: Congratulating the people of India and J&K in particular, Y.V Sharma, spokesperson BJP, welcomed the recently held Pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla temple at Ayodhya.
He said that this has been a moment of great pride for the country and its people that will eventually turn to be the turning point of cultural renaissance for the centuries old Bhartiya civilisation.
There couldn’t have been a better city than Ayodhya, the birth place of Lord Rama in Bharat for catapulting a “Sanatan” at cross roads to a sense of real freedom, freshness & a sense of purpose for attaining self-reliance and targeting for higher goals of human, social, cultural, economic & political fulfilment during the “Amrit Kal”, Sharma said.
He added that the city has been described by the great sage Valmiki in Ramayan as the best city where all(residents) are exuberant, yet virtuous. All scholars variously learned in sacred lores; people are content with their own fortune, free from greed & are truthful. And yet, the city of the present was in shambles & “Ram Lalla” living in torn out tented accommodation in a country that attained independence in 1947.
Leaving the temple aside, which had legal impediments since 1856, but even the city itself was not developed though there was no reason for it to be brought at par with other similarly placed towns of India like Tirupati or Madurai.
“It is in great distaste that some of the so called religious leaders of the country continued to mislead the people through their vitreous campaign against the “Pran Pratishtha” ons 22nd January. But the people of the country, from north to south & east to west, gave them a befitting reply by being a part of the celebration, on an unimaginable scale. The whole country and the world at large was taken over by the spirit of Ram, had become “Rammye”. The celebrations were led by Narendra Modi from the front who went on a strict personal regulation for 11 days to conform mentally, physically & physiologically to the sanctity of the occasion,” he said.
YV Sharma expressed confidence that with the closure of the issue of “Ram Lalla” temple, that was hanging fire since 1528, when the original Ram temple was pulled down by Mir Bakkion the orders of Aurangzeb, there will be peace & prosperity in the country and people will strive to make Bharat a developed country by 2047, as envisaged by Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister.
