The DMK on Sunday launched a scathing attack over the consecration of the Ram temple at Ayodhya, alleging that the BJP government at the Centre had made a gimmick of consecrating an incomplete temple in view of the upcoming Lok Sabha election.
In a statement here, DMK Parliamentary Party leader T.R. Baalu said the BJP government, after “hunting down the people of the country in every way in the last ten years”, was now claiming that it had completed the construction of the Ram temple. “Faith in God is an individual’s spiritual quest. It is an individual’s right. Using bhakti as a capital for political mobilisation and vote-bank politics is against the soul of India and values of the Constitution. It is not good for the nation’s future,” he said.
