This work should have been done long ago...," the Chief Minister added.
CM Yogi further said that Ayodhya City was brought within the purview of prohibitions and curfew by the previous governments. "For centuries, Ayodhya was cursed with ugly intentions. It faced a planned disdain. Such treatment to public sentiments was perhaps never seen anywhere else. Ayodhya faced injustice. When I speak about injustice, we recall the 5000-year-old thing. Injustice was done even to the Pandavas at that time...That had happened with Ayodhya, Kashi and Mathura...," he added.
