New Delhi: The Rama Janma Bhoomi Thertha Kshetra Trust unveiled the details of the invitation card two days before the grand Ram Temple’s Bhoomi Pujan ceremony. In the invitation mentions Prime Minister Narendra Modi and four more names, indicating a vastly trimmed list in the time of Covid-19.

Five people will be on the stage – PM Modi, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Mahant Nritya Gopaldas.

According to the Champat Rai of the Ram Temple Trust, invite also has an image of the idol of “Ram Lalla” or infant Lord Ram. Each invitation has a security code that will work only once; if the guest exits the venue they will not be allowed back in. The Rama Janma Bhoomi Thertha Kshetra Trust sent invitations to a number of 175 people for the elaborate “Bhoomi Pujan” organized on Wednesday in the middle of the nation’s Covid- 19 fight.

Padma Shri recipient Mohammad Sharif, honoured for cremating over 10,000 unclaimed bodies, has also been invited. On inviting the Muslim litigant, Champat Rai said: “Celebrating an event does not mean someone else should feel bad. No one should be teased.” PM Modi is expected to establish a 40 kg silver brick for the symbolic start of the construction of a Ram Temple that has been central to the BJP’s core agenda and election promises for decades.
