Congress protest sends anti-Ram temple message, says Amit Shah

Union home minister Amit Shah has accused the Congress of appeasement politics,saying their black clothes protest was actually against the foundation ceremony of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. "There are cases registered in court. But why do they hold protests every day? I feel the Congress has a hidden agenda -- they have extended their appeasement policy in a disguised manner," Amit Shah said.   Shah said, the Congress chose this day for protest and wore black clothes because they want to give a subtle message to further promote their appeasement politics because on this day itself the PM laid the foundation of Ram Janambhoomi in 2020.

UP CM Yogi Adityanath termed the Congress protests as an "insult to Ram Bhakts". “Till now, the Congress was protesting in normal attire but  they protested wearing black clothes on Friday. It's an insult to Ram Bhakts. They chose this day as today's Ayodhya Diwas which marks the beginning of construction of Ram Janambhoomi,” he said. The Congress' attitude has insulted Ayodhya Diwas along with insulting India's democracy and judiciary. We condemn such acts of the party, the UP CM added.
