Parliamentarians discuss Ram temple building on the final day.

PM Modi addressed the Lok Sabha at the onset of the Budget session 2024.

The Lok Sabha on Saturday took up a discussion on the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya amid protest by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam members on an issue related to the fishermen from Tamil Nadu.

Initiating the discussion on “the construction of historic Shri Ram Temple and Pran Pratishtha of Shri Ramlala”, Bharatiya Janata Party member Satya Pal Singh said Lord Ram belongs to everyone and not Hindus alone.

He also accused the Congress of questioning the existence of Ram, evoking a sharp reaction from the opposition benches.

Singh said the construction of the Ram temple at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh was historic. The former Indian Police Service (IPS) officer also underlined that the temple is not a “communal” issue as some people perceive it.

The Budget session of Parliament, the last of the 17th Lok Sabha, started with the address by President Droupadi Murmu to the joint sitting of two Houses on January 31. It is scheduled to conclude today which was earlier supposed to end on February 9.
