New Delhi, January 24

The Union Cabinet on Wednesday gave itself the tag of the “Cabinet of the Millennium’’ for witnessing the inauguration of the Ram Temple and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for mandir consecration which, it said, had become a never-seen-before public campaign.

In a “Thank You PM” resolution today, Union ministers hailed Modi for the opening of the Ram Temple and said, “In 1947, the body of India was liberated; today the soul of the nation has been redeemed.”

Recalling the PM’s words on the inauguration that the Ram Mandir consecration was a marker of a changing era and an occasion to set India’s foundations for 1,000 years to come, the resolution said, “Today’s Cabinet meeting is historic…. Because the Ram Temple has been built for thousands of years, it would not be an exaggeration to call today’s Cabinet the Cabinet of the Millennium,” the resolution read. Moved by Defence Minister and read at the Cabinet briefing by Anurag Thakur, the resolution hailed Modi as “Jananayak and a transformational leader” and said, “Not from any political perspective but from a spiritual perspective we can say that you were chosen by Lord Ram for the consecration of His temple.”
