Ayodhya, January 22: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday asserted that today's occasion of Pran Pratishtha is not only a moment of celebration but also a moment that signifies the "maturity" of Indian society, adding the manner our country has untangled this knot of history with seriousness and sensitivity indicates that our future is poised to be more splendid than our past.

PM Modi pointed out that in the annals of world history, many nations have grappled with their own historical entanglements. Attempting to resolve such historical complexities often leads to formidable challenges, with situations becoming more intricate. "The history of the world is a witness that many nations get entangled in their own history.

He further said that the way our country has untangled this knot of history with seriousness and sensitivity indicates that our future is going to be much more beautiful than our past. The Prime Minister further said that there was a time when some people said that if the Ram temple was built, it would lead to unrest as they failed to understand the purity of India's social sentiment.
"The construction of this temple of Ram Lalla is also a symbol of peace, patience, harmony, and coordination in Indian society. We are seeing that this construction is not igniting any fire, but rather it is giving birth to energy. The Ram temple has brought inspiration for every section of society to move towards a brighter future. Today, I call upon those people... Feel it, rethink your perspective," he added.
He further added "Ram is not fire, Ram is energy. Ram is not a dispute, Ram is the solution. Ram is not only ours, Ram is for everyone. Ram is not just the present, Ram is eternal." The Prime Minister expressed gratitude for the sacrifice of the people who made today's day possible. He paid tributes to Saints, Kar Sewaks and Ram Bhakts.
