BJP passes resolution on Ram temple: ‘Ram Rajya for next 1,000 years’

The construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya “heralds the establishment of Ram Rajya in India for the next 1,000 years”, the BJP said in a resolution passed by its national council on Sunday.

The resolution also said that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, “India is fulfilling the goal of all-embracing and inclusive development in the spirit of Ram Rajya”.

The Ram temple has become a temple of “national consciousness” and will play a decisive role in fulfilling the resolutions adopted in building a Viksit Bharat, the party said at its two-day national convention which ended on Sunday.

“The construction of a grand and divine temple of Lord Shri Ram at his birthplace in the ancient holy city of Ayodhya is a historic and glorious achievement for the country. This heralds the establishment of Ram Rajya in India for the next 1,000 years with the beginning of a new Kalachakra,” said the resolution moved by party chief J P Nadda.

“Lord Shri Ram, Mata Sita and Ramayana are present in every aspect of Indian civilisation and culture”, it said. “Our Constitution, dedicated to our democratic values and justice for all, has been inspired by the ideals of Ram Rajya. Even in the original copy of the Constitution of India, on the section of fundamental rights, the picture of Lord Shri Ram, Mother Sita and Lakshmanji after returning to Ayodhya after the victory, is proof of the fact that Lord Shri Ram is the source of inspiration for the fundamental rights,” it said.

The values that Ram instilled in his words and thoughts are the inspiration for ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’, and the basis of ‘Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’, the resolution said.

Saying that the temple is a historic and glorious achievement for the country, it said, “Ram Mandir is a symbol of India’s vision, philosophy, path. Shri Ram Temple has truly become a temple of national consciousness.”

Referring to the consecration ceremony of the temple on January 22, the party said it was “the day of aspiration and accomplishment for crores of Ram devotees, the renaissance of India’s spiritual consciousness and the beginning of the journey back to great India.”

With the consecration of the temple, “the nation, freeing itself from the mentality of slavery, (has) create(d) a new history by taking inspiration from every part of the past,“ it said.

“This convention congratulates Prime Minister Modi for making the shared power of heritage and development the identity of new India through his determined efforts and thanks the Prime Minister for making the whole of India experience the magic of Ram,” it said.

“Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, India’s unity and solidarity have received the power of public participation. He has raised the morale of the nation with his policies and leadership. Indian cultural, spiritual and historical pride has been restored in the last 10 years,” it said.

“Through his unwavering commitment towards religion, he started many such programmes which are taking India towards a bright future,” it said.
