In the country of Ram, they are calling the Ram temple, anti-national.” He further lambasted the opposition for their actions, remarking, “Those people who organise ‘sarkari iftari’, beautify the graves of terrorists for appeasement are calling our lord Ram, his temple and us, who go to Ram temple, as anti-national…”
