| "Jan 22 Day Of Resurgence Of Spiritual, Cultural Conscience": BJP Chief | | | Agencies
NEW DELHI, Feb 10: BJP president JP Nadda said in Rajya Sabha on Saturday that the 'Pran Pratishtha Day' was a day of resurgence of the country's spiritual and cultural conscience. "When we speak of the 500-year-old history, it was that of slavery, of oppression. When we talk of January 22, 2024, we consider that day to be that of the resurgence of spiritual and cultural conscience. This day will be held memorable for several thousands of years," Nadda said during a discussion on the Ram Mandir on the last day of the Budget session. Nadda said that people should consider themselves blessed that they got the opportunity to see the Pran Pratishtha of Lord Ram Lalla. "This is a moment of pride for all of us that we got the opportunity to see the Pran Pratishtha of Lord Ram Lalla. We have become part and parcel of this historic time. This would not have been possible without God's blessings. So we should be thankful to them," the BJP chief said. Nadda said that though it is known that Lord Ram's exile lasted 14 years, given the establishment of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya, it may be said that His exile also lasted for 500 years. "This was a long struggle for 500 years from 1528 to 2023. So many generations have passed, so much time has gone by, so long as the movement. We say that Lord Ram's exile was for 14 years, but Lord Ram's exile also spanned 500 years. He had to stay in a tent amid all the difficulties. And today, when he is Virajman in his palace, in his temple, this is a historic moment for all of us," he said.
The BJP president said that people in our country not only worship Lord Ram but also draw inspiration from him. "Lord Ram is the soul of this country. He is the culture, way of life, and dignity of this country. Apart from worshipping Him as Lord Ram, we also get inspired by Him in our personal and social lives," he said.
