"Didn't Intend To Hurt Anyone": Congress Over Snubbed Ram Mandir Invite | Read

Amid discordant notes within a section of the party and perceived public anger over the refusal by top leaders to attend the 'Pran Pratishtha' of Shri Ram Lalla at his birthplace in Ayodhya on January 22, Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday said the decision wasn't intended to hurt anyone's sentiments or any religion. Earlier, Congress bigwigs--Mr Kharge, former national president Sonia Gandhi and the party's Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chiwdhury--turned down the invitation to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, calling it a 'BJP-RSS' event.
