NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said on Saturday he will take a decision “very soon” about whether or not to attend the Ram Temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya on January 22.
Asserting that this was a matter of personal faith, not politics, Kharge also said anyone invited to attend, was free to decide.
“It is about ‘personal astha’… If there is an invite, you can go, anyone else can go….I have got the invitation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s former principal secretary had come along with the secretary of the (temple) trust, they have invited me. I will decide on it very soon,” Kharge said.
Apart from Kharge, former party chief Sonia Gandhi and Congress leader in Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, have been invited to attend the event.
