Mumbai: Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) president Prakash Ambedkar on Wednesday declined an invite from the Ram temple trust for the `pran Pratishtha' (consecration) ceremony of the new Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22.
In a letter to the trust, he said the event has been hijacked by the BJP and the RSS.
"A religious event has been turned into a political campaign," he said.
His grandfather Dr B R Ambedkar had warned that if political parties put caste and religion above the nation, the freedom would be in danger once again, the VBA chief noted.
