Union Minister of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Giriraj Singh on January 13 attacked Sonia Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge after they rejected the invitation for the consecration program of Ram Lalla’s idol in Ayodhya. He said they rejected the invitation because they are anti-Hindu. While speaking to the media, Union Minister Giriraj Singh said, “The temple trust has sent invitations (for Ram Temple ‘Pran Pratishtha’) to Sonia Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge but they aren’t going because they are anti-Hindu.”
