A new road in Ayodhya would be named after Ram Kumar Kothari and Sharad Kumar Kothari, the two brothers who were killed in police firing during the historic Ram Mandir movement in the holy town.
Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya made the announcement and said a road would be constructed in Ayodhya in memory of Kothari brothers.
The Kothari Brothers came to Ayodhya from Kolkata to participate in the Kar Seva in October 1990. They were killed by police while performing the kar seva. Ram was 23 while Sharad was just 20 years old.
After their sacrifice, the two brothers were hailed as the heroes and martyrs of the Ramjanmabhoomi movement. During the election campaign in West Bengal, the Bharatiya Janata Party leaders had repeatedly recalled the sacrifice of Kothari brothers.
It is not that the brothers had been remembered during the election campaign. During the Bhumi Pujan of the Ram Mandir last year, the family members of the two Kar Sevaks were also invited to attend the event.
Purnima Kothari, sister of the Kothari brothers, attended the event organised by the BJP leaders in the state, and remembered her brother’s sacrifices. She also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the construction of the Ram Mandir.
