Such posts were made by multiple social media users around the time of Ram temple bhoomi pujan in Ayodhya. There has been no source where it is stated that Mark Zuckerberg made such a claim and while the phrase did gain some popularity during the Bhoomi Pujan week, there was a sharp decline before and after the week. Even in Facebook's Blog newsroom where updates or the latest news, announcements and media resources from the Facebook company are posted, there was no result for 'Jai Shri Ram'.
