NEW DELHI: In a momentous recognition of decades of dedicated service to the nation, Dr Karan Singh, former Member of Parliament has received an exclusive invitation to participate as a distinguished guest in the historic consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
In a press statement issued here today, the former Member Parliament said, “Today I have received the beautiful invitation to the historic Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on 22nd January 2024 which will be celebrated by about a billion Hindus around the globe. As a Raghuvanshi myself, and having made a modest personal donation of Rs.11 lakhs 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. However, our family Dharmarth Trust (J&K) is organizing a special celebration on this occasion at our famous Shri Raghunath Temple in Jammu, and we are also doing so on a smaller scale at our Shri Ram Mandir on Lodhi Road. After the Supreme Court judgement there should be no hesitation in attending the function, if invited,” he added.
