Ayodhya to manifest finest traditions: PM

New Delhi, June 26

Ayodhya should manifest the finest of Indian traditions and the best of the nation’s developmental transformation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday as he chaired a meeting to review the progress of the Ram Temple and ongoing projects in the city.

Terming Ayodhya a city by and for every Indian, the PM said the human ethos of Ayodhya must be matched by futuristic infrastructure, which is beneficial for everyone and future generations should feel the urge to visit Ayodhya.

He was speaking at a virtual meeting with Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, where state government officials made a presentation on various aspects of Ayodhya’s development.

The plan envisages the development of the city as a spiritual centre, a global tourism hub and a sustainable smart city.

Officials informed the PM about the upcoming projects to improve connectivity of the country with Ayodhya. The meeting came close on the heels of the SP, AAP and the Congress alleging scams in the purchase of land in Ayodhya by Shri Ram Teerth Kshetra Trust, which has denied all charges. — TNS
