With temple, Ram Rajya will be established in India: Ramdev

Yoga Guru Ramdev called August 5 a historical day ahead of the foundation stone-laying ceremony of Ram Temple in Ayodhya on Wednesday.

The yoga guru, who will be attending the ceremony, reached Ayodhya on Tuesday afternoon.

"This day (August 5) is historical and generations will remember the day with great pride," Ramdev said while visiting the Hanuman Garhi temple.

"A new history is being written in India and we should celebrate the day. I am confident that with the construction of Ram Temple, 'Ram Rajya' will be established in the country," he said.

"It will be an end of encroachment of all the cultural, financial and political issues. The establishment of Ram Temple will initiate a new culture in the country," Ramdev further said.

On being asked about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit, Ramdev said, "Our country is fortunate that we have a prime minister, who is a Ram and Hanuman 'bhakt'. The PM is the one who has made the 'Hindu Dharm' proud."

Meanwhile, security and COVID-19 protocol is being followed at Ayodhya's Hanuman Garhi temple.

Prime Minister Modi will offer prayers at the temple, ahead of foundation laying ceremony of Ram Temple on Wednesday.
