Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has objected to the statement given by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Gujarat and said that such statements can create discrimination in the society. Trust General Secretary Champat Rai said that along with current President Draupadi Murmu, former President Ramnath Kovind was also invited to the Pran Pratishtha program. This statement is objectionable, false and misleading.
Let us tell you that while addressing an election rally in Gandhi Nagar, Gujarat, Rahul Gandhi had said that the President of India Draupadi Murmu was not invited to the Pran Pratistha program because she comes from the tribal community. The Trust took cognizance of this statement and Trust General Secretary Champat Rai responded by giving a video message on social media site X.
Today an article has been published in the Delhi edition of The Times of India. The article mentions the speech of Congress leader Shri Rahul Gandhi, delivered in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

Champat Rai said that in the Pran Pratishtha program, apart from people from Scheduled Castes, Tribes and backward communities, such dignitaries who have brought honor to the country in different fields were also invited. Minority people were also invited to the programme.
He said that the Trust had also invited the laborers and poor associated with the construction of Ram Temple to the programme. Everyone also worshiped in the sanctum sanctorum of Ram temple. This statement of Rahul Gandhi is misleading, false and objectionable. Lord Shri Ram never discriminated against anyone in his life, hence the Trust cannot entertain the idea of discriminating against anyone. The trust also includes saints and mahatmas who work considering every person in the society as a form of God.
He said that such statement can prove to cause discrimination in the society. Therefore we express serious objection to this. We work to connect people.
