Ram Mandir 'Pran Pratishtha': Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat addressed people after the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony at the Shri Ram Janmaboomi Temple in Ayodhya.
Bhagwat acknowledges Prime Minister Narendra Modi's commitment but underscores the collective responsibility of citizens. He said, "PM Modi kept a strict fast before arriving here for Pran Pratishtha. I know him for long, he is a tapasvi. But he alone can't do it. Now we too must do our bit."
'India's pride returned'
"Today in Ayodhya, along with Ram Lalla, India's pride has also returned. Today's event has become a symbol that a 'naya Bharat', which will provide relief to the world from tragedies, will definitely come up," said the RSS chief.
