PM Modi accuses Congress of linking Ram temple issue with elections

Prime Minister Narendra Modi  accused the Congress of linking the Ram temple issue with the Lok Sabha elections and attacked its leader Kapil Sibal’s arguments in the Supreme Court for deferring hearing the matter till after the 2019 polls.

“Yesterday in the Supreme Court, a Congress MP, Kapil Sibal, was arguing [which is his right] for the



Babri Masjid. He is entitled to do that, but is it right for him to say postpone hearing till 2019?” Mr. Modi said at a rally in Gujarat’s Dhandhuka.

“Why does he have to link a Ram mandir with elections. Is such thinking proper?” he said. “Now Congress links Ram mandir with elections. They are least bothered about the nation.”
