Uddhav Thackeray said, "It is a possibility that the government could invite a large number of people for the Ram Temple inauguration in buses and trucks, and on their return journey, an incident similar to that in Godhra may occur"
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday claimed a "Godhra-like" incident may take place during the "return journey" of the people expected to converge at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh from across the nation for the inauguration of the Ram Temple.
On February 27, 2002, "Kar sevaks" returning from Ayodhya on board the Sabarmati Express were attacked and their train coach set ablaze at Gujarat's Godhra station, leading to deaths that triggered largescale riots across the state.
"It is a possibility that the government could invite a large number of people for the Ram Temple inauguration in buses and trucks, and on their return journey, an incident similar to that in Godhra may occur," Mr Thackeray said in Jalgaon, around 400 km away.
