Team News Riveting
Chennai, January 21
The Tamil Nadu government led by M K Stalin has banned the live telecast of Shri Ramlala Pran Pratistha programme to be held on Monday at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh.
“TN govt has banned watching live telecasts of #AyodhaRamMandir programmes of 22 Jan 24,” Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in a message on X (formerly Twitter). In TN there are over 200 temples for Shri Ram. In HR&CE managed temples no puja, bhajan, prasadam and annadanam in the name of Shri Ram is allowed.
Sitharaman said police are stopping privately held temples also from organising events. They are threatening organisers that they will rip off pandals. Strongly condemn this anti-Hindu, hateful action.
“Heart-breaking scenes in several parts of TN. People are threatened for organising #bhajans, feeding the poor, celebrating with sweets even as we wish to watch the Prime Minister participate in #Ayodhya. Cable TV operators are told that there is a likely power-shut down during the live telecast. This is the I.N.D.I Alliance partner DMK’s anti-Hindu efforts.
TN govt is unofficially claiming law and order issues to justify the live telecast ban. False and fake narrative. There are no law and order issues on the day of Ayodhya verdict. Not even the day when the PM laid the foundation, in any part of the country. The groundswell and the voluntary participation of people to celebrate #ShriRam in TN has rattled the anti-Hindu DMK.
