Union Defense Minister Rajnath and UP CM Yogi Adityanath participated in the celebration program of the second anniversary of Shri Ramlala Pran Pratishtha in Ayodhya. During this, Rajnath Singh said, ‘Today is a moment of great pride for all of us. That historical moment when Lord Shri Ram Chandra himself had fixed the time to appear again to his devotees on the land of Awadh. Its two years have completed. This is the same land which has been bloodstained for years, which has waited unbearably for its King for its Ram.
He said, ‘Earlier, whenever the sages tried to perform Yagya for world creation, some demonic power used to come. Similarly, when the Rath Yatra started for the Ram temple, the same demonic powers came. At that time, those who took the name of Ram were put behind the walls of the jail. Time judges everyone, the one who supported Ram Rajya is engaged in serving the nation with the blessings of God and the whole world is watching the condition of those who opened fire on Ram devotees.

‘Ayodhya has been made a hub of unrest and conflict for vested interests’
CM Yogi Adityanath said, ‘I congratulate Defense Minister Rajnath Singh ji for his presence. The very name of Ayodhya makes one realize that there was never a war here, no enemy could ever stand in front of the bravery here, but some people, due to their vested interests, religious passion and appeasement of power, had made Ayodhya a hub of disturbance and conflict.
He said, ‘Remember when the country’s Prime Minister Modi ji came to Ayodhya and consecrated Ram Lalla and removed the stigma of slavery from Ayodhya. To maintain the divinity and grandeur of Ayodhya forever, all of us Ram devotees will have to move forward and make it a part of life. This is not the end of the journey, it is the beginning of a new journey. When on 25th November, Modi ji again came to Ayodhya and hoisted the saffron flag on the peak of Ram temple.
After 500 years, Ramlala was seated, no one is above Sanatan.
He said, ‘The previous governments had done the work of bleeding Ayodhya, the people who bloodshed that Ayodhya, in which there were never any conflicts, in the Ayodhya under whose rule there was an attempt to bleed Ayodhya by carrying out terrorist attacks. But God’s grace and Bajrangbali themselves are protecting there ‘Ghosts and vampires should not come near, when Mahavir’s name is recited’ then how can any terrorist enter here. More than 45 crore devotees have come to Ayodhya Dham in the last 5 years. Where earlier a few lakhs of people used to come.
He said, ‘There is no devotee in the country and the world who does not get fruitful results after visiting Ayodhya. Before 2017, there was no electricity, no water, no security and whenever anyone chanted Jai Shri Ram, they were caned. Now even the biggest scheme of the Government of India has become ‘Ji Ram Ji’.
He said, ‘Remember, from 1528 to 1992, Ram devotees continued to struggle in Ayodhya every 20 years. He did not care about the bullets and sticks, he kept fighting.
