Former BJP MP and prominent figure in the Ram temple movement, Ram Vilas Vedanti, called on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to facilitate the participation of BJP veteran Lal Krishna Advani in the upcoming consecration ceremony scheduled for January 22 in Ayodhya. This plea follows the Ram Temple Trust’s recommendation on December 18, advising Advani and another BJP veteran, Murli Manohar Joshi, not to attend the ceremony due to their age.
Vedanti asks Yogi to bring Advani to Ayodhya. Vedanti emphasized the significance of Advani witnessing the consecration, stating, “Advani should see with his own eyes Ram Lalla sitting on his throne…this is not only the desire of the country but of the Hindus across the world, because Advani’s contribution to the Ram temple movement is huge.”
BJP MP Urges LK Advani To Ayodhya On January 22. Highlighting the substantial contributions of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Advani, and Joshi to the BJP, Vedanti urged the UP government, particularly Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, to make arrangements for Advani’s presence at the sanctum sanctorum during the ceremony.
Earlier, Ram Temple Trust general secretary Champat Rai had discouraged Advani and Joshi from attending the ceremony, citing their age. However, on December 19, the Vishva Hindu Parishad stepped in, with its working president Alok Kumar inviting both veterans to the consecration ceremony. Advani and Joshi expressed their intent to make “every effort” to join the event on January 22, as conveyed by Kumar in a statement.
