The retort adds a fiery layer to the ongoing discourse surrounding the highly anticipated event. Join us as we explore the dynamics of this verbal duel, highlighting the tension and spirited exchanges between Satyendra and Thackeray, offering readers a front-row seat to the intense dialogue between religious and political figures.
‘No invite’ for Ram Temple
Amid the ongoing controversy regarding the distribution of invitations for the January 22 inauguration ceremony of the Ayodhya Ram Temple, Thackeray declared that he did not receive an invitation. Nevertheless, he asserted that he doesn’t require an invitation to visit the temple and can go to Ayodhya whenever he pleases. He stated,
“Ram Lalla is mine too. I can go anytime I wish. I can go now, I can go tomorrow. When I became the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, I went to Ayodhya. I visited Ayodhya before that also. Yes, I have not received any invitation and I don’t need one. I just have one request that this event should not be made a political one.”
Ram Temple priest replied to Thackeray’s comment
Acharya Satyendra Das, the head priest at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya, responded to Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray’s statement that he has not received an invitation to the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya, stating that invitations have been extended only to the “devotees of Lord Ram.”
Acharya Satyendra Das said, “Invitations are only extended to those who are devotees of Lord Ram. It is totally wrong to say that BJP is fighting in the name of Lord Ram, our PM is respected everywhere. He has done immense work under his tenure. This is not politics. This is his devotion.”
Acharya extended Sympathy to Sanjay Raut
The chief priest responded to Uddhav Thackeray’s accusations against the BJP-led central government, claiming that the saffron party is ‘politicizing’ the consecration ceremony of Lord Ram in anticipation of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The Shiv Sena UBT chief stressed that the inauguration function should not politicize or center around a specific party.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut faced criticism from Acharya Satyendra Das for his derogatory comment, stating that “BJP is now left to announce Lord Ram as their candidate.”
Sanjay Raut said, “The PMO and government should shift base to Ayodhya. They will ask for votes only in Ram’s name because they have done nothing else. Balasaheb Thackrey and thousands of Shiv Saniks contributed to it. Even we are devotees of Ram. In fact, we are the biggest devotees of Ram and our party has sacrificed a lot for the Ram temple. They have taken our country back by 5000 years.”
As the verbal duel between Satyendra and Thackeray intensifies over the Ram Temple inauguration, the Ayodhya priest stands firm on inviting only true devotees. The clash echoes the fervor surrounding the historic event. Share your thoughts on this intense exchange—religion and politics collide in the countdown to the grand ceremony.
