On Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi & Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury declining the invitation to 'Pran Rratishtha' ceremony of Ram Temple in Ayodhya and BJP criticizing it, Delhi minister and AAP MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj says, "It is Congress party's own matter. All four Shankaracharyas are saying that the temple is incomplete, so 'Pran Pratishtha' at a time like this is not in line with the Vedas and Sanatan Dharma and is not right. I think their words should be honoured. They are the supreme authority in Hindu religion...The fact that they are not attending the ceremony, is sad. Had I been in the government, I would have fallen on their feet that how can the ceremony take place without them."
