Indore: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat stated on Monday that the consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya should be celebrated as "Pratishtha Dwadashi," marking the "true independence" of Bharat, a nation that had faced centuries of "parachakra" (enemy attacks).

Bhagwat emphasized that this day symbolized the nation's newfound sovereignty. Bhagwat clarified that the Ram temple movement was never initiated to oppose any group. Rather, he explained, it was meant to awaken the "self" of Bharat, enabling the country to stand tall and guide the world.

Bhagwat also noted that there was no discord in the country during the consecration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, highlighting the peaceful nature of the event.
