While speaking to NewsX, Union Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman discussed the claims restriction hosted made on the Bharatiya Janata Gathering's (BJP) manifesto. Sitharaman stated, "Would anyone be able to deny that Ram Temple issue is still in the court? Yet at the same time we have issued a solicitation and we even gone to the court and state 'will you please discharge those terrains that are around the debated territory with the goal that different works can begin'. I really need to make inquiry consequently. What Congress party needs to do on these issues? Would they like to proceed with the stale-mate? Would they like to state they are not keen on Ram Mandir? What is the situation of Congress party? Along these lines, rather than calling others 'Jumla', let them turn out straightforwardly to state that they either for the sanctuary or not."
