Digvijaya Singh to visit Ram Temple on March 26​

Congress leader Digvijaya Singh will visit the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on March 26, fulfilling a pledge made after his 2021 donation for its construction.

"Now that the main construction work of the temple is nearing completion, he is arriving to fulfil his pledge. - Digvijaya Singh's office"

Bhopal, March 24

Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and Congress Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh will visit Shri Ram Janmbhoomi temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, on March 26.​

It will be his first visit to Ayodhya after the construction of the Ram temple following the Supreme Court's order.​

Confirming the report, Digvijaya's office in Bhopal told IANS that he will depart from Delhi on an Air India flight during the morning hours of March 26. ​

After offering prayers at Lord Ram's temple in Ayodhya, he will depart for Lucknow by road.​

It could not be confirmed whether his wife, former journalist Amrita Rai, will accompany him during the visit. His office said he is likely to travel alone.​

In 2021, Digvijaya Singh donated ₹1,11,111 for the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. He had sent the cheque in favour of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.​

He had also stated that he would visit to offer prayers once the temple was fully completed. ​

"Now that the main construction work of the temple is nearing completion, he is arriving to fulfil his pledge," his office said.​

Meanwhile, BJP MLA from Bhopal Rameshwar Sharma, who often targets Digvijaya Singh on Lord Ram, took a jibe at the former CM. ​

He said, "I would request him during his visit to the Ram temple to please pay homage to the martyrs who faced bullets in 1992."​

Speaking to the media, Sharma added that had the country's political leadership grasped this reality sooner, the Ram Temple in Ayodhya would have been built many years ago.​

He further said, "As you offer your prayers today to the very Ram Lalla whom your party once dismissed as a mythical figure, acknowledge and accept that Ram Lalla is not a figment of imagination, but a living reality."​

The BJP MLA's comment is unnecessary and tries to politicize a personal act of devotion. Let people visit their God in peace. The temple is for all devotees.

He donated over a lakh rupees in 2021. That shows his faith was always there, even if his party's public stance was different. Actions speak louder than words.

As an observer, it's interesting to see how this issue has evolved. The Supreme Court's order brought closure, and now it's becoming a national monument of faith rather than just a political symbol.

Honestly, it feels a bit like political tourism. But if it leads to more harmony and less division, then it's a good thing. The country needs to move forward together.

My family is planning a visit next month. It's a matter of great pride for us. Whether a politician or a common person, every devotee's heart is the same in front of Ram Lalla.
