The consecration of the Ram Lalla idol at Ayodhya and even the construction of the temple are unnecessarily being dragged into political mire by vested interests. What should have been a smooth and happy event after the unanimous Supreme Court judgment in favour of the temple is sought to be besmirched with allegations and counter-allegations by various political parties? It is a pity that some Indian politicians cannot partake of the joy that has enthused people and governments in many parts of the world. Above all, there seems to be a lot of confusion about what exactly constitutes politicization of the January 22 event.
