According to the official visit of the Parliamentary Committee of the Defense Ministry, this committee will start from Kochi from January 17 and will meet in Banaras on January 22 via Bangalore, Visakhapatnam, Bhubaneswar. According to the programme, the tour will end on January 22 at 5 pm. After that all the members are free to go to their respective destinations.

Congress sources said that in such a situation, whether there is talk of visiting Ram temple on 23rd or visiting the temple in Banaras, it is not in the official programme. Therefore, talking about philosophy regarding this issue and linking Rahul Gandhi with it is just bad politics and nothing else.

Actually, the 32-member parliamentary committee of the Defense Ministry is reaching Ayodhya on 23 January. It is being told that the MPs included in this committee will have darshan of Ram Lalla during the Ayodhya Yatra and will visit the Cantt area as per their responsibilities. BJP MP from East Champaran, Bihar and former Union Minister Radha Mohan Singh is the president of this parliamentary party. The name of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi is also included in this. However, Congress says that the program of visiting the temple has not been officially decided.

Let us tell you that the Gandhi family has been avoiding the darshan of Ramlala. Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi were also sent invitations for the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla on 22 January 2024, but the top leadership of Congress had maintained distance from Ram Lalla. Although over time, a few top level Congress leaders kept coming to see Ram Lalla, but Sonia Gandhi's family still maintained distance from Ram Lalla. It is believed that Rahul Gandhi may not be included in this committee coming to Ayodhya due to political differences.
