On Friday, JD(U) MP Kaushlendra Kumar courted controversy by comparing the highly anticipated consecration event of the Ram Temple to a "shraadh" and questioning the necessity of invitations. Speaking to reporters in Nalanda, Kumar enquired as to if the invitation was for someone's wedding or "shraadh." Ayodhya belongs to everyone, he declared, calling those who are inviting guests for the consecration ceremony stupid. "Is an invitation being sent out for someone's son's wedding? Will I not visit Ayodhya if I am not invited?Why is this invitation necessary? Is it the'shraadh' of someone's father or the son of someone? It's an idiot who is inviting. "Ayodhya is everyone's property; attempts to seize it will be thwarted," he declared.  The congressman made a subtle jab at Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he remarked that a person would not be eligible for benefits in 2024 if they traveled to Ayodhya without their spouse. On January 22, Prime Minister Modi will be present at the opening of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. At approximately 12:15 p.m., he will carry out the rites at the Ram Temple's sanctum sanctorum.
