OVERWHELMED THAT RAM TEMPLE IS A REALITY: UNION MINISTER PANDEY
The Sunday Guardian
|January 21, 2024
Minister of Heavy Industries Mahendra Nath Pandey speaks to The Sunday Guardian.
From a kar sevak to a Union Cabinet Minister of Heavy Industries, Mahendra Nath Pandey has been a part of the Ram Temple movement since the mid-1980s and continues to play a key role for the successful conduct of the ongoing festivities and ceremonies in Ayodhya. Excerpts from an interview he gave to The Sunday Guardian:
Q: How do you see the proposed consecration ceremony at the Ram Temple?
A: For me, it is a very overwhelming and joyous moment because of my active involvement in the Ram Temple movement from the very beginning. I was among the first few kar sevaks to be arrested by the Mulayam Singh government under the National Security Act and spent three months in jail in the 1990s. Even during the 1992 kar seva, I was present in Ayodhya. The consecration ceremony on 22 January is testimony to the collective achievement of Ram bhakts.
