No tension between temple trust, seers: VIP
Hindustan Times
|January 12, 2023
There is no discord between the Ram Temple trust and Hindu seers, particularly the four Shankaracharyas, over the consecration ceremony at the Ayodhya temple on January 22, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) said on Thursday, even as it rejected allegations of bias in sending out invitations of the mega event to political leaders.

"As we invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we also invited opposition leaders, including the leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha. We invited some leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party, so we invited presidents of all other parties, too," VHP international working president Alok Kumar said.
The leader of the VHP, an offshoot of the RSS, which was at the forefront of the Ramjanmabhoomi movement, lashed out at opposition parties for alleging the consecration ceremony was being used by the ruling BJP for political gains and for polarising the electorate ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. "There is no truth in the opposition's claims that the event has been politicised or taken over by RSS [Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh] and BJP," Kumar said.
