Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today said that after the Pran Pratishtha of Ramlala in Ayodhya the city has become the centre of religious and spiritual tourism and Lord Ram’s glory illuminates not only India but the entire world. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, accompanied by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, arrived in Ayodhya today to take part in the second anniversary celebrations of the consecration of Lord Ram Lalla at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple.
On this auspicious occasion, the Defence Ministry first offered prayers at Hanuman Garhi and then had darshan of Lord Ramlala at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple. Thereafter, amid Vedic chants, he installed the Dharm. Dhwaja atop the spire of the Maa Annapurna Temple within the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi complex. Calling it the most fortunate day of his life, he recalled that two years ago, the re-consecration of Lord Ram at this sacred site marked a historic moment of pride for the entire nation.
Mr. Singh added that along with the construction of the Shri Ram Temple, Ayodhya is witnessing rapid development through improved air, rail, and road connectivity, creating new opportunities in industry and trade. He said, this development wave is not limited to Ayodhya but is reaching the entire Awadh region and the country at large.
Referring to Operation Sindoor, Rajnath Singh cited Lord Ram’s teachings on righteousness, stating that even in war, dharma must never be abandoned. He said that the Indian Army acted with restraint and resolve, taking precise and purposeful action to teach terrorists a lesson by striking their hideouts.
