Today is the day of Ram Kaj. The disputed structure was built in Ayodhya at the behest of Babur 492 years ago. In 1885, for the first time, this case went to court. In 2019, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Ramlala. Just nine months after this, Bhoomi Pujan (Land worship) is going to be done for the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Its foundation will be laid at 12:30 pm by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Modi, whose party BJP repeated the same promise in 8 out of 10 Lok Sabha elections … And the most beautiful thing is that the first invitation was sent to Iqbal Ansari, who was a supporter of Babri Masjid.
After independence, Modi will be the only Prime Minister who will be in the court of Ramlala while holding this post. Before him, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Narendra Modi have reached Ayodhya as Prime Minister, but could not see Ramlala.
