India's Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday (Jan 21), citing daily reportage from Tamil Nadu, alleged that the state government had barred people from organising events in the name of Lord Ram on the day of the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple which is scheduled for Monday (Jan 22) in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya.
Sitharaman took to her official X account and said that the DMK-led government had banned watching the live telecast of the Ram Temple inauguration.
