Ayodhya event: Celebrations across Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad: Many people across the city hailed the laying of the foundation stone of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, on Wednesday. Ramdhuns, or devotional songs praising Lord Ram, were played from a number of temples.
VHP and Bajrang Dal volunteers set off firecrackers and at the VHP office in Paldi, as the Ayodhya programme was played on a big screen.
The BJP also organized the screening of the Ayodhya ceremony at its state headquarters Kamalam and at its city headquarters in Khanpur.
Meanwhile, police booked 14 persons for holding a procession to welcome the construction of the Ram temple without permission.
For the family members of kar sevaks who were killed in the Sabarmati Express carnage in Godhra in 2002, the ceremony in Ayodhya brought a sense of closure. Their kin were returning from Ayodhya when the incident took place in February 2002. In all, 59 persons, including kar sevaks, were killed. Although the kin were unhappy that none of them had been invited to Ayodhya, most watched the ‘shilanyas’ ceremony live on television at their homes.
