“The premises of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is not big enough to invite all donors,” Sri Vishwaprasanna Tirtha Swami of Pejawar Math said in Vijayapura on Thursday.
He was responding to comments by Congress leaders Laxman Savadi and Jagadish Shettar that they have not been invited for the event even though they have not only donated funds but also raised funds for the construction of the temple.
“The temple premises is not big enough to invite all donors,” reiterated the seer who has served a member of the construction committee.
He advised the leaders not to make such comments.
He said that the comments by Congress leader S. Yathindra about the dangers of making India a Hindu Rashtra are highly condemnable. “Does this mean that there are attempts to make India into another Pakistan?” he said in response to a query by journalists.
