Ram Temple inauguration against Hindu beliefs, says Jayarajan

Opening a Ram Temple on the site of the demolished Babri Masjid is against Hindu religious beliefs, Left Democratic Front convener E.P. Jayarajan has claimed. He was opening a social harmony meet organised by the Indian National League (INL) at the Freedom Square on the Kozhikode beach on Monday.

Mr. Jayarajan alleged that building a temple after demolishing a mosque was a violation of the Hindu dharma. None of the Hindu scholars would validate such an act, he claimed.

“In a secular country, there should be a separation between religion and the government. Politicians should not interfere in religion. Religious scholars should ponder over religious issues. But by organising a government event for the Ram Temple opening, the BJP is interfering in religion to create a vote bank and to continue its fascist rule,” he said.
