Ayodhya: Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam on Monday urged the Opposition 'not to oppose Lord Ram, but oppose a political party because it can be defeated, not Lord Ram'.
 
"Those people who are opposing, I want to tell them this that they should oppose a political party, not Lord Ram. One can defeat a political party but cannot defeat Lord Ram, Sanatan Dharma and Bharat. And Lord Ram is India's soul," he told reporters here.

 
Talking about the political controversy over the ceremony, Union Minister Ramdas Athawale denied it to be a BJP event and appealed to the people to boycott them in the upcoming election.

Isha Ambani and her husband Anand Piramal also arrived at the temple. "Today is one of the most sacred days for us, and we are just overjoyed to be here, Isha said.
