"Like Nehru": Himanta Sarma Slams Congress Over No To Ram Temple Invite

Terming religion a personal matter and calling the Ram Temple a "political project" of the BJP, the Congress on Wednesday declined to attend the grand event planned for January 22 in Ayodhya.

The Congress was given an opportunity to "atone for its sins", but by declining the invitation to attend the Ram Temple opening ceremony in Ayodhya, history will judge the party as "anti-Hindu", declared Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday.

Terming religion a personal matter and calling the Ram Temple a "political project" of the BJP, the Congress on Wednesday declined to attend the grand event planned for January 22 in Ayodhya.

For the BJP, which accuses the Congress of playing to minority sentiments, the no is like a political lottery.
