Udupi, Jul 31: "The day of the laying of the foundation stone for Ram Mandir is a Deepavali for all the Hindus. The day August 5 will be written in golden letters in the history of the world," said Pramodh Mutalik, founder of Shree Ram Sena.

Pramodh Mutalik addressed the reporters in Brahmavar after handing over the piece of rock of the sacred Anjanadri hill to Pejawara Shree Vishwa Prasanna Theertha Swamiji on the occasion of the foundation stone laying ceremony of Ram Mandir. "After the Supreme Court's judgement on the Ram Mandir, our fight has taken a new module. The day will be added to the history of the world. People in lacs had sacrificed their lives and more for this cause and soon their sacrifice will render its fruit. It is a pride that the foundation stone will be laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On this day in every house of India candles will be lit and the day will be celebrated. Pejawar seer is a trustee of the Ram Mandir committee and through him, we will be sending the sacred rock of Anjanadri hills. Pejwar Shree Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji, Ashok Singal, Nritya Gopal Das and many others had struggled very hard to make this happen," he said.

Responding to a question from the reporters on not inviting Praveen Togadia for the foundation stone laying ceremony, Pramodh Mutalik said, "Even a Muslim named Fayaz Khan has been invited for the function but not Praveen Togadia. Even we are pained by this decision of not inviting Praveen Togadia. Togadia had fought for the cause for 32 years, even sacrificing his family life. All the previous disfavors should be forgotten and Praveen Togadia should be invited. It is a wish of the lakhs of Hindus and even today that it can be done. Those who still oppose the move of the building of the Ram Mandir are opposing the Supreme Court's decision of Rama Janmabhoomi. They are condemning the court's decision. They are opposing the constitution. If the Congress, Communist leaders visit Ajmer Durga and offer Chadar therein it is correct, then why is there opposition for the Ram Mandir foundation stone laying event. Siddaramaiha's move to carry out a march wearing Tippu Sultan's attire is not criticized but Prime Minister Narendra Modi laying the foundation stone is criticized as an act of foolishness. In that case, they are stupid," said Pramodh Muthalik with confidence that the foundation stone laying of Ram Mandir will be held without any obstacles.
