Ram temple symbolic of spirit of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla

Soon after the Supreme Court delivered its verdict, the statement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi “inspired society about peace instead of a feeling of victory or defeat”, Birla said, referring to the court’s 2019 judgement in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title case.

He said that through this resolution, the members of the House appreciate the historic work accomplished in Ayodhya.

The temple being constructed in Ayodhya is not a structure created out of stones but is filled with the feelings of faith and belief, Birla said.

Birla recalled that ahead of the January 22 consecration ceremony at the temple, the prime minister visited various religious sites and gave a message of national unity.

In fulfilment of this moment, a large part of the judiciary and society played a key role, he said.
