NOIDA: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday accused Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi of insulting Hindus as she avoided visiting the makeshift Ram Lalla shrine and called it a disputed site. Adityanath said the country and the world see Ayodhya as Ram Janmbhoomi and there is no dispute on it after the 2010 Allahabad High Court judgement on it. "When she was asked as to why she did not visit the Ram Janmnbhoomi, she said it was a disputed site hence she did not go there," he claimed while addressing an election rally in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. "Vadra's remark on the Ayodhya site is an insult to any Hindu living in any part of the world," the monk-turned-politician declared to the gathering. "Brothers and sisters, there can be no bigger insult for us."

श्रीमती प्रियंका वाड्रा का बयान देश दुनिया में रहने वाले हिंदुओं का अपमान है ,उन्होंने कहा राम जन्मभूमि विवादित स्थल है इसलिए नहीं जाउंगी। 30 सितम्बर 2010 को इलाहाबाद कोर्ट की विशेष पीठ ने कहा है कि जहाँ रामलला विराजमान है वही राम जन्मभूमि है, तो फिर यह विवादित जगह कैसे हो गयी ?

"Last time they (Congress) had won 44 seats, this time they will get only four seats and get finished." Priyanka Gandhi visited Ayodhya on March 29 and offered prayers at the popular Hanuman Garhi temple there but kept away from the Ram Lalla shrine.

मैं प्रियंका वाड्रा जी से पूछना चाहता हूं आप राम जन्मभूमि इसलिए नहीं गईं कि एक वर्ग विशेष नाराज हो जायेगा ?आपकी माता जी, भाई और आपके पति भी कोर्ट के द्वारा दी गई जमानत पर हैं क्या आप उनसे मिलती हैं कि नहीं मिलती हैं ?आप को देश की जनता के सामने अपनी स्थिति स्पष्ट करनी चाहिए।

Adityanath said, "I want to ask you (Priyanka Gandhi) that you did not go to the site thinking that people from a particular community would get angry? You went to Ram bhakt Hanuman's temple. You made a controversial statement about the Ram Janmbhoomi." The chief minister also referred to UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Congress president Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi's husband Robert Vadra, saying they are "out on bail". "Three members of her family are on bail. I want to ask Srimati Vadra does she meet them or not?" He alleged that the Congress was behind the delay in the verdict on the Ayodhya dispute, saying a battery of lawyers belonging to the party argue for deferring the matter every time the Supreme Court takes it up.

क्या यह सच नहीं कि अयोध्या मामले का समाधान इसलिए नहीं हो पा रहा क्यूंकि जब भी राम जन्मभूमि का मामला मा. उच्चतम न्यायालय में जाता है तो कांग्रेस अनावश्यक देरी और व्यवधान करने के लिए वकीलों की फ़ौज खड़ी कर देती है? अयोध्या मुद्दे के लिए सबसे बड़ी बाधा सपा,बसपा और कांग्रेस ही हैं।

"The Congress, SP and the BSP, they all are the biggest hurdles in getting this matter resolved. We don't consider it a disputed site. These people deliberately play with your sentiments," he told the gathering. (With inputs from agencies)
