'Congress could've...': Himanta Biswa on party's call to skip Ram Temple opening

India Today  

As Congress turned down the Ram Temple consecration ceremony invite, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma deemed the decision as another "missed opportunity" for the grand old party. Biswa said that Congress could have offered "an apology to the Hindu Samaj" for their views "against the Ram Mandir from the very beginning". After the Congress said its top leadership won't attend the Ram Temple event, Biswa shared an old photo of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at Babur's Tomb in Afghanistan, asking why the Gandhi family "hated Hindus". He shared a photo of Rahul Gandhi's visit to the tomb in Afghanistan in 2005, highlighting that three generations of the Gandhi family visited the site and questioning their "hatred for Ram Lala".
