Whatever Home Minister Amit Shah said in the Lok Sabha on the proposal presented on the occasion of the consecration of the Shri Ram temple built at the birthplace of Shri Ram in Shri Ayodhya is a heritage for the Indian Parliament as well as the folk tradition of India.

Have been. He also made it clear that this is the voice of the 140 crore people of India and the devotees of Ram living in different countries of the world which was suppressed in the court proceedings for years.
Due to the efforts of a determined and ascetic Prime Minister like Narendra Modi, that voice became vocal, found expression and today a rare dream is in front of everyone in its true form. In his address, the Home Minister emphasized that the day of 22 January 2024 has become historic for the coming ten thousand years. 22 January is the day in which the hopes and aspirations of crores of devotees were fulfilled. This is a day of renaissance of spiritual consciousness for entire India. This is the beginning of the journey to great India. And it is a step to take Mother India forward on the path of Vishwa Guru.
In his address, the Home Minister discussed in detail about Ram, Ram's essence, Ram's ideals, Ram's kingdom, Ram's life character, Ram's journey, his struggle, his courage, his dignity and Ram's presence in the world. Explaining how important Ram is for India, the Home Minister made it clear that India cannot be imagined without Ram and Ram's character. Those who want to recognize, know and live India cannot live without Ram and Ramcharitmanas. The character of Ram and Ram are the life elements of the people of India. Everyone should understand and accept this. Those who imagine India apart from Ram, not only do not know India but they are only representing the time of our subjugation.
The Home Minister explained in great detail the importance of Ram in the imagination of the Constitution of India to Mahatma Gandhi's Ramrajya. In the very serious and detailed address of the Home Minister, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Movement, Shri Lal Krishna Advani's Ram Rath Yatra, Nihang Movement, Late. The manner in which light was thrown on the struggle done by Ashok Singhal ji as well as the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was extremely emotional. The Home Minister not only presented the journey of the BJP executive in Palampur from the proposal of the BJP executive in Palampur to the consecration of life in the temple in great detail, but presented it in such a style that the entire atmosphere became extremely emotional. The Home Minister described the journey from the destruction of the temple in 1528 to the 1990 Kar Seva and the verdict given by five judges after the proceedings and controversies in the Supreme Court of India and now the construction of the temple, as the victory of development in the face of destruction. Describing it as the victory of spirituality and devotion in front of fanaticism, he described it as the beginning of the glorious era of India.
Describing the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi movement, struggle, court maneuvers, comments made by the opposition and the efforts made for the construction of Shri Ram temple after the formation of the government under the leadership of Narendra Modi in 2014 as unique, Amit Shah said that whenever the world Only then will the history be written democraticallySuch a big struggle to fulfill the religious beliefs of the majority society of a country while protecting the values ​​will become a standard and surely the credit for its success will go to the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as an ascetic king and dedicated to the eternal values. . The Home Minister said many more things which would be appropriate to mention in summary only. When the Home Minister especially placed before the House the Sanatan Vaishnav worshiper form of the current Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, that moment was also very emotional. In his address he said - When the Ram temple was being constructed and when the judgment came, many people were speculating, many people were predicting that there would be bloodshed in this country, there would be riots in this country, There will be big disputes between religions in this country. But today I want to tell this House that this is the government of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Narendra Modi ji is the Prime Minister of this country. Modi ji's visionary thinking has done the work of converting the court's judgment into a court order acceptable to all instead of victory or defeat. When the time came, he was invited to come and perform Bhoomi Pujan. He is the representative of 140 crore people. When Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust gave him the opportunity to lay the foundation stone as a representative of the public, the entire conduct of Modi ji should be carefully observed. That conduct will remain in front of the world for hundreds of years to come and it will also inspire many people.
We all have heard the statement of Acharya Govind Dev Giri ji. When Modi ji got the opportunity, he asked the other Vaishnav saints of the Ramanandi sect that if one has to sacrifice his life, if he has to do it for a worldly person, then what are the rules and regulations for it, what kind of worship should be done for it. The Prime Minister of this country observed a fast of 11 days, which was much harsher than what was suggested by the saints. Not sleeping on the bed for 11 days, fasting with only coconut water for 11 days, remaining immersed in the devotion of Ram for 11 days and connecting every breath of that time with Ram and consecrating life by becoming Rammay, this is Proves how ascetic the Indian leadership really is. During this period, the Prime Minister performed penance by visiting all the places of Lord's exile and exile which the world has seen. Those who were watching the Prime Minister at Ayodhya on January 22 at the time of his consecration, must have realized that how the country progresses when its leadership is virtuous and spiritual.
This scene in the Parliament of India was amazing. In the parliamentary history of India, this was such a virtuous, spiritual, philosophical and public-spirited address by any Home Minister which will definitely give a different national-oriented direction to the parliamentary tradition of future India. This was the moment when the Home Minister also mentioned many tough decisions that had been taken in the Parliament of India since 2014 under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and also made it clear that if there was no capable leadership like Narendra Modi, these decisions would not have been taken. Could not and could not be implemented.
Giving a very clear message to the world, the Home Minister said that the slogan of Jai Shri Ram was a slogan of struggle, which is now going to take India on the path of Vishwaguru by becoming a public greeting in the form of Jai Siyaram.
..Jai Siya Ram..
