Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Friday slammed the Congress for declining the invitation to attend the Ram Temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya, saying that the party is a “divided house” over the issue.
During a press conference, Puri also criticised statements of Congress leaders on the Ram Temple consecration ceremony to be held on January 22.
Earlier in the day, the Congress alleged the BJP has made the consecration ceremony an “out and out political event” which is being held without taking the advice of the shankaracharyas and by disregarding religious procedures.
“If you (Congress) don’t want to go, don’t go. Making such statements, I think, will only lead to repercussions… You should not make such statements. They (Congress) are getting entangled in their own net… Congress is a divided house,” Puri told reporters.
