Tamil Nadu Bans Live Telecast of Ayodhya Ram Mandir Programs, Faces Criticism for Restricting Shri Ram Worship in Temples

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman tweets, “Tamil Nadu govt has banned watching live telecast of #AyodhaRamMandir programmes of 22 Jan 24. In TN there are over 200 temples for Shri Ram. In HR&CE managed temples no puja/bhajan/prasadam/annadanam in the name of Shri Ram is allowed. Police are stopping privately held temples also from organising events. They are threatening organisers that they will rip off pandals. Strongly condemn this anti-Hindu, hateful action.
