The top opposition leaders including Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge and Parliamentary party chairperson Sonia Gandhi have been invited to the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya on January 22.
The invitations to the leaders were sent out by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, sources told news agency PTI. However, sources noted that the senior Congress leaders are unlikely to attend the ceremony.
Invitations — delivered by a delegation associated with the Trust — were sent individually to Kharge, Gandhi and Congress leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, sources said. Former prime ministers Manmohan Singh and H D Deve Gowda have also received invitations for the ceremony.
More invitations are likely to be sent to other opposition leaders in the coming days.
The Trust has said that invitations have been extended to revered saints from different traditions, along with all eminent individuals contributing to the honour of the country in every domain.
In the new Teerthakshetrapuram (Bag Bijaisi), a Tent City has been established which includes six tube wells, six kitchen houses, and a hospital with ten beds, the Trust noted.
Approximately 150 doctors from around the country have agreed to provide their services in rotation at this hospital. About 4,000 saints from different sects have been invited to participate in the ceremony, the Trust has said.
Preparations for the consecration ceremony are taking place in full swing in Ayodhya and are likely to be concluded before the pran pratishtha puja, which is scheduled to begin on January 16 and conclude on 22nd.
