The Congress respects all religions and is not an “atheist” party, spokesperson Kanhaiya Kumar said on January 15.
On the sidelines of a press conference on Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, when Mr Kumar was asked about the Congress leadership’s response to the invitation to attend the January 22 consecration ceremony at Ayodhya, he said people go when God calls them.
“Is it a wedding that an invite is needed? Who are they to invite? When the god calls people, they go. We are bhakts [devotees]. God is about personal faith and not a matter of display,” Mr Kumar said.
