BJP leader criticised Sonia Gandhi’s recent comment on the Babri Masjid issue, alleging it exposes the Congress party’s anti‑Ram position.
Sonia Gandhi recently made a public comment concerning the Babri Masjid, a statement that quickly drew attention from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. The BJP framed her remarks as an indication that the Congress party continues to oppose the construction of a Ram temple at the disputed site.
In response, a senior BJP spokesperson said the comment “exposes the anti‑Ram face of the Congress” and warned that such a stance undermines national sentiment. The party reiterated its commitment to completing the Ram temple, positioning the issue as a litmus test for political allegiance.
The exchange adds another layer to the long‑running political debate over the Babri Masjid demolition and the subsequent temple project, with both parties leveraging the matter to mobilise their bases ahead of upcoming electoral contests. No official rebuttal from the Congress leadership has been reported yet.
