NEW DELHI, Apr 9: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday accused the Congress of making several attempts to stall the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya and insulting Lord Ram by rejecting the invitation for the 'pran pratishtha' ceremony.
The prime minister also attacked the Congress for "insulting" 'Shakti'.
Addressing an election rally here, PM Modi said the Congress is immersed in the swamp of appeasement and that "owing to the pressure of appeasement", the Congress and the Samajwadi Party (SP) are opposing the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) as well.
The "INDI alliance of the SP-Congress does not care about India's heritage," the prime minister said.
"The Congress made several efforts so that the Ram temple is not constructed. But when the people of the country made such a beautiful temple by contributing every penny and when the temple people forgave all your (Congress') sins, and invited you for the 'pran pratishtha', you insulted Lord Ram by rejecting the invitation and expelled the leaders, who attended it, for six years," he said.
"Somebody worships Ram and he is expelled from the party. What type of party is it?" he said.
"Every family of the country contributed according to their devotion. The people of Pilibhit also gifted a huge flute to Ayodhya. But the people of INDI alliance had hatred even before the construction of the Ram temple and they have hatred even today," he said.
