Various orgnisaions like Mo Odisha, Rastriya Dalita Sabha and Republican Party of India staged a protest wearing black badges against Bhoomi Pujan of Ram Temple at Ayodhy and sent a memorandum to President Ram Nath Kovid urging for “preservation of the basic features of the Constitution.”
“As of today, the country has reported more than 20 lakh covid cases. Now each day more than 50 thousand positive cases are added while more than 800 people are losing their lives per day. It seems by the end of August 2020 our active cases will be more than Brazil and in death it will be in 3rd position in the world. In such a difficult time, the Central Government's decision to have a grand foundation stone-laying ceremony at Ayodhya for Lord Ram’s temple is against the values and culture,” read the memorandum.
The memorandum further read the Prime Minister’s involvement has demolished the basic characters of the country’s Constitution.
“We are registering our protest and praying you to instruct the Government to respect the feelings of the citizen not only a particular community and respect, preserve the basic features of our Constitution which enabled the present Government to govern,” added the memoranudm.
Among others Shaikh Abdul Walli, Kailash Mishra, Ashok Kumar Mallick, Chandrakanti Boud, Prahallad Sabar, Bijay Kumar Sethy, Seba Swain, Muralidhar Nayak, Benudhar Nayak and Sudarshan Das participated in the dharna.
