Sitaram Yechury asks EC for quick action against PM Modi for accusing Oppn parties of disrespecting Lord Ram

New Delhi, 16/4: CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury has approached Election Commission seeking ‘quick action’ against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for using Ram Temple consecration to level allegations against the Opposition, saying they were “clearly meant to rouse religious passion.

Yechury said Modi’s remarks like Opposition is ‘opponent of Ram Temple’, ‘insulting Lord Ram’ and ‘will not allow Ram Navami celebrations’ were ‘highly unfortunate’ and that such ‘divisive and baseless speeches’ were delivered to ‘incite passion’ against opposition.
