Advani to Miss Ram Mandir Consecration Due to Extreme Cold Weather

Ayodhya: Senior BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani, who led the Ram Mandir movement in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, is expected to miss the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony on Monday due to extreme cold weather.

The 96-year-old BJP veteran was expected to attend the ceremony along with his veteran party colleague Murli Manohar Joshi. But both are unlikely to be present there due to their health and age.

Earlier this month, it was reported that LK Advani would be attending the Ram Mandir inauguration. The International Working President of the VHP Alok Kumar said that all required arrangements and medical facilities will be provided to the BJP veteran.

The VHP invited LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi in December to attend the Ram temple opening in Ayodhya.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead the rituals of ‘Pran Pratistha’ in Ayodhya on Monday.
