"This information is sent all over the world that more and more people should come and attend it. Whether it is the opposition or the ruling party, whoever comes, each and everyone would be welcomed and respected...

Meanwhile, he further said that Ram Mandir is divine and grand and is being built beautifully.
"It (Ram Mandir) is divine and grand and is being built beautifully. Especially, the 'Garbh Grih' on the ground floor is ready, and carving is underway. Installation of windows and gates is pending,' he said.
"The floor is ready. They are trying to build it in a way that no other temple is as beautiful as this one... People would be able to see how it was in the 'Treta Yug'... It will be on three floors and there will be a dome on the top... The preparations are being well done," he added.
On August 5, 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the construction of the Ram Temple and since then the construction work of the temple is going on. Union Minister Home Minister Amit Shah had announced that the Ram Temple will be opened for devotees by January 1, next year.
