Delhi, 21 December (H.S) : The upcoming consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22 has garnered much attention, with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and party leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury receiving invitations for the event.
Sources have revealed that the invitations were sent by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust to the senior Congress leaders individually. However, it is unlikely that they will attend the ceremony. In addition to these leaders, former prime ministers Manmohan Singh and H D Deve Gowda have also been invited to the event.
The invitations were personally delivered by a delegation from the Trust and more are expected to be sent to other opposition leaders in the coming days. According to the Trust, invitations have been extended to revered saints from different traditions as well as prominent individuals who have contributed to the honor of the country in various fields. The Trust has also set up a Tent City called Teerthakshetrapuram (Bag Bijaisi) for the event, which includes essential facilities such as tubewells, kitchen houses, and a hospital with ten beds.
Approximately 150 doctors from across the country have agreed to provide their services on a rotational basis at this hospital. The Trust has also extended invitations to about 4,000 saints from different sects to participate in the ceremony.
