Union Home Minister Amit Shah paid heartfelt tributes to Ashok Singhal, the revered VHP leader and one of the foremost architects of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi movement, on his death anniversary.

Posting on X, HM Shah wrote, “Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Andolan’s pioneer Ashok Singhal Ji dedicated his entire life to religion, nation, and culture. Renouncing comforts, amenities, and grandeur, he remained engaged throughout his life in the service of self-culture and self-faith. On the death anniversary of Ashok Singhal Ji, I remember him and bow to his sacrifice and penance.”

Singhal, who passed away in 2015, still continues to remain an iconic figure in the Sangh Parivar, celebrated for his enduring role in the movement that ultimately paved the way for the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

BJP National President and Union Minister JP Nadda also shared a tribute, stating, “On the death anniversary of the pinnacle figure of the Vishva Hindu Parishad, the most revered Ashok Singhal Ji, who gave a new direction to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi movement, I offer my repeated salutations to him. Your life is an unparalleled symbol of the resolve to preserve the Sanatan culture and defend the nation. Your contribution to restoring the nation’s cultural glory is inspiring.

CM Yogi further wrote on X, “On the death anniversary of the pioneer of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi movement and former international president of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, the revered Ashok Singhal Ji, we offer him humble tribute! His entire life was dedicated to patriotism, religious devotion, and the revival of Indian culture.
