00:00 As India eagerly awaits the historic inauguration of Ram Mandir, scheduled for January 22, reports
00:12 have surfaced regarding the attendance of key political figures.
00:16 According to sources quoted by Press Trust of India or PTI, there is uncertainty surrounding
00:20 the participation of Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Sonia Gandhi in the consecration
00:25 ceremony.
00:26 However, earlier reports had suggested that Sonia Gandhi would indeed be present at the
00:30 event along with the Congress leaders such as Mallikarjun Kharge and Adhiranjan Choudhury.
00:36 The invitation extended to these prominent figures has added a political dimension to
00:40 the ceremony, taking centre stage in the lead-up to the general elections just around the corner.
00:46 The consecration ceremony is expected to draw a diverse guest list, including political
00:50 leaders, celebrities and business personalities.
00:53 Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to address the gathering, emphasising the significance
00:57 of the occasion.
00:58 Several eminent personalities including blockbuster film stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth,
01:03 Madhuri Dixit, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Alia Bhatt and many more are also invited.
01:08 Industrialists Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani, Gautam Adani and Ratan Tata have also received
01:13 invitations.
01:14 Cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli are also on the list.
01:18 However, not everyone seems to be on the guest list.
01:21 Some notable figures have either not received an invitation or have chosen not to attend
01:25 the event.
01:26 NCP chief Sharad Pawar expressed on Wednesday that he has not received an invitation and
01:31 accused the BJP of playing politics in the name of Ram Temple.
01:34 Congress MP Shashi Tharoor clarified on Thursday that he hasn't been invited and sees religion
01:39 as a personal attribute not to be used for political purposes.
01:43 West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is also unlikely to attend the event, as per
01:47 a TMC leader who stated that mixing politics with religion goes against the party's beliefs.
01:53 The CPIM has decided not to attend the event, with party leader Brinda Karat emphasizing
01:57 the need to separate religious programs from political agendas.
02:01 As we approach the historic day, the Ram Temple consecration ceremony continues to be a focal
02:05 point not only for its religious significance but also for the political dynamics it has
02:10 introduced.
