Senior Congress leader Karan Singh on Friday said that after the Supreme Court’s Ayodhya judgment, there should be no hesitation in attending the consecration ceremony at the Ram temple on January 22.In a statement, Singh said he has received the “beautiful invitation” to the “historic pran pratishtha ceremony”, but he will not be able to attend it due to medical reasons. The ceremony “will be celebrated by about a billion Hindus around the globe,” he said. “As a Raghuvanshi myself, and having made a modest personal donation of Rs 11 lakh towards the construction, it would have been a great pleasure to attend. Regretfully, nearing 93, it will not be possible for me to do so on medical grounds,” the former Union minister said in a statement. “However, our family Dharmarth Trust (J&K) is organising a special celebration on this occasion at our famous Sri Raghunath Temple in Jammu, and we are also doing so on a smaller scale at our Shri Ram Mandir on Lodhi Road,” he said.
