The CPI(M) on Thursday alleged that the Government has “deliberately” chosen August 5 as the date of the bhoomi pujan ceremony for the Ram temple at Ayodhya as the “demolition” of Jammu and Kashmir and the rebuilding of the temple are both “core agendas of Hindutva forces”.
Last year on August 5, the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution was announced. This provision provided special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, that was turned into a Union territory.
