CPI(M)”s strong opposition to mixing religion and politics, particularly aiming at the BJP, is evidently sharp in their recent responses and social media posts. CPI(M)”s decision not to attend the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony, that is, the inauguration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya despite receiving an invitation has caught headlines today. In their statement, citing reasons for not attending the ceremony, party stated that religion is a personal choice and “not to be converted into an instrument for political gain.”

Attacking BJP, the CPI(M) added: “It is most unfortunate that the BJP and RSS have converted a religious ceremony into a State sponsored event directly involving the Prime Minister, the UP Chief Minister and other government functionaries”. The party also claimed that by organising the event ruling regime has violated fundamental principle of governance in India.
