Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday requested devotees of Lord Ram across the country not to rush to Ayodhya for the grand consecration ceremony of the Ram Mandir on January 22.
Addressing a gathering in Ayodhya, PM Modi said, “I have a request for everyone. Everyone has a wish to come to Ayodhya to be a part of the event on 22 January. But you know it is not possible for everyone to come. Therefore, I request all Ram devotees to come to Ayodhya at their convenience once the formal program is done on January 22.”
He added that the devotees of Lord Ram should not cause inconvenience to the deity and should wait as he arrives. “We have already waited 550 years, please wait a few more days,” said the Prime Minister.
