'Congress Shouldn't Have Been Called At All, But...': Assam CM On Party Declining Ayodhya Ram Mandir Invite

The Assam CM said that the Congress was given a golden opportunity by the Vishva Hindu Parishad to 'repair some of their sins,' but they missed it.

Ramlala Pran Pratishtha: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma slammed the Congress on Thursday after the grand old party declined the invitation for the consecration ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22. On Wednesday, the Congress party announced that the party leaders had turned down the invitiation calling it an RSS/BJP event. 

The Asam CM said that the Congress should not have been invited at all for the consecration ceremony. He further stated that the grand old party was given a golden opportunity by the Vishva Hindu Parishad to “repair some of their sins,” but they missed it.

"In my view, they should not have been invited at all. But VHP gave them a golden opportunity to repair some of their sins. But they missed the bus. I feel pity and sad for them," Sarma said.

On Thursday, Union minister Giriraj Singh on Thursday attacked the Congress and dubbed its leaders as "seasonal Hindus", after the party's decision.

Reacting to this, Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Union minister Giriraj Singh said, "These people are seasonal Hindus, when they feel they have to get votes, they try to become soft Hindus. No one in the Congress has gone to Ayodhya since Jawaharlal Nehru." 

"It was the Congress party itself that had done the work of pending the case in the court, hence they do not have the moral strength to go to Ayodhya," Singh said on Thursday while speaking to news agency ANI. 

The saffron party was quick to react to the development saying they have "lost their mind" as Ravana did in the "Treta Yug".
