Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh):
Samajwadi Party MP from Ayodhya, Awadhesh Prasad, on Monday urged the government to formally honour the artisans and labourers who contributed to the construction of the Shree Ram Janmabhoomi temple.
Prasad said the contributions of workers involved in building the temple should be publicly acknowledged by displaying their names within the temple परिसर so that devotees and tourists can recognise their efforts. He stressed that while the Ram Mandir stands as a symbol of faith and devotion, the people who physically built it have not received due recognition.
“The labourers and artisans of our country have played a very significant role, but they are not getting the respect they deserve. I demand that those who worked tirelessly to build this temple should be honoured. Their names should be displayed so that visitors from across India and the world can see who contributed to this historic construction. This will boost their morale,” Prasad said.
The MP also shared that he visited the Shree Ram Janmabhoomi temple with his family, where he offered prayers and conveyed New Year greetings to the public. Praising the quality of construction, he said the temple has been built with great care and would stand for generations.
“The construction of the Ram temple has been done very well. This temple of Lord Ram will endure for thousands of years,” he added.
Last month, the Ram Mandir marked the second anniversary of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh attended the occasion and described it as a moment of historic pride and spiritual fulfilment for the nation.
Addressing the gathering, Singh recalled the consecration of Lord Ram, stating that after centuries of wait, the deity was installed in the grand temple, bringing glory not only to Ayodhya but to the entire world. He also highlighted the spiritual atmosphere of the city, saying that every part of Ayodhya reflects the deep emotional and cultural bond people share with Lord Ram, a sentiment that resonates far beyond the city and the Awadh region.
