Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidi Stalin’s woes on Ram Mandir have come out after abusing Sanatana Dharma. He claims that the temple was constructed after demolishing the mosque. He does not want to accept the history that the mosque was built on temple during the time of Babur. He is unable to reconcile to the fact that the Ram Mandir case was won legally also. He says that he was not in agreement with Ram temple in Ayodhya. Who had sought his agreement for the construction of Mandir? It is a 500-year battle. At last the solution saw the light of the day thanks to the Supreme Court verdict. There are many Churches in India. Not a single Church has been demolished because no case of temple demolition for constructing Church has come to light. Famous Hindu temples in Belur, Halebid and Hampi have been wilfully destroyed during the Islamic rule in India. Construction of Ram temple is indigestible to Udhayanidhi. He claims that his grandfather M. Karunanidhi was not averse to any religion. Does it mean that he is averse to Hinduism? What his grandfather said is nothing to do with the construction of Ram temple which was built after winning legal battle. Statements from Udhayanidhi are not conducive for promoting harmony among people. The petitioner of Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute Iqbal Ansari has taken the Supreme Court judgment with all sportsmanship and he has also showered flower petals on the cavalcade of Modi. There is a saying in Kannada, “Even if the lender keeps quiet, the witness will not keep quiet”.
