Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman sharply criticised the Tamil Nadu government over reports of its decision to ban live streaming of the worship being performed at the new Ram temple. Her post on X was slammed by the state government, which accused the BJP of trying to "divert attention" from the DMK youth Congress in Salem. Declaring that there are more than 200 temples dedicated to Lord Ram in the state, Ms Sitharaman said the police are stopping privately held temples also from organising events.
