Congress has made it clear that current President Mallikarjun Kharge, former President Sonia Gandhi and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Choudhary will not attend the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya on January 22.
After this, Sonia Gandhi is facing the most criticism. He is being termed as anti-Sanatan and all kinds of allegations are being made on social media.
Many people are calling him anti-Hindu and also anti-Hindu Gods and Goddesses.
However, this is not so because when she started living in India after marrying Rajiv Gandhi in 1968, her mother-in-law Indira Gandhi took her to the famous Ambaji Temple in Gujarat in 1979.
At that time Indira was going through the worst political situation. Just before the 1980 Lok Sabha elections, Indira’s visit and worship at that temple with her daughter-in-law proved fruitful.
Indira Gandhi then returned to power with a landslide victory on 353 out of 531 seats. At that time there was Morarji Desai’s government.
Amba ji had reached the temple for the second time
Sonia, who had kept the pallu of saree on her head since marriage, visited this temple again in 1989 with her Prime Minister husband Rajiv Gandhi. However, Congress was defeated in the then elections and Rajiv Gandhi’s government was defeated.
After the 1989 elections, a non-Congress government was formed in the country for the second time. VP Singh had then become the Prime Minister, whom BJP was also supporting.
Have also taken blessings from Devraha Baba
During the 1989 elections, Sonia Gandhi along with her husband Rajiv had gone to the ashram near Vrindavan in Uttar Pradesh to seek blessings from Devraha Baba.
Devraha Baba used to sit on a wooden platform built at a height of six feet from the ground and would bless the devotees by kicking them in a unique style. Rajiv and Sonia had then received his blessings.
Sonia had reached Balaji Tirupati temple
Even during the 1998 Lok Sabha election campaign, Sonia Gandhi had visited the Balaji temple in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. Then she was the national president of the Congress Party.
Soon after his Tirupati visit, the Congress Working Committee passed a resolution stating that Hinduism is the greatest guarantee of secularism in India.
Senior journalist Rashid Kidwai, while mentioning this in an article written in India Today, has written that then the President of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam, Subbirami Reddy had given Sonia Gandhi the darshan of Tirupati temple, which was met with a lot of opposition.
According to Kidwai, Sonia Gandhi had then written in the temple diary that she follows the religion of her husband and her mother-in-law.
Sonia does not follow Christianity
In 1999, when Lok Sabha elections were held again after 13 months, BJP and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh raised the issue of Sonia Gandhi’s religion loudly.
The Sangh Parivar had then raised the issue of ‘Ram Rajya’ versus ‘Rome Rajya’. Then, in an unprecedented development, the Roman Catholic Association in India issued a statement denying that Sonia Gandhi follows the Christian Catholic religion.
BJP won those elections and for the third time, NDA government was formed under the leadership of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, which for the first time lasted for five years.
