After Shiv Sena, Congress has also called for virtual Ram Mandir ‘bhumi pujan’ ceremony in the wake of Covid- pandemic. A day ago, Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray has suggested that the bhoomi pujan ceremony for the Ram temple in Ayodhya, likely to happen on August 5, should be conducted via video-conferencing as the nation was fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. Uddhav said, 'I can easily go; I will be taken care of too. But the question is about the lakhs of Ram bhakts who too wish to come there. Will you stop them, or allow them? And what about the spread of Covid-19 due to the crowd. There should be an e-bhoomipujan, and allow everyone to witness this ceremony.'
