Kin of 19 ‘karsevaks’ among 59 who lost their lives in the 2002 Godhra train burning incident in Gujarat will attend the Lord Ram temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya, a VHP office-bearer said.
The other invitees from Gujarat include 320 saints and 105 prominent members of society, he said.
“The invitees include kin of the karsevaks who were killed when two coaches of Sabarmati Express train on which they were returning to Ahmedabad from Ayodhya were set on fire by miscreants near Godhra railway station,” said Vishwa Hindu Parishad general secretary for Gujarat, Ashok Raval.
