Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) International Secretary General Milind Parande urged Every Bharatiya should accept the values Sri Rama practised in his life; then only this mission will be fulfilled. Parande was addressing a gathering in the Labour Training Centre of BMS state committee in Kochi. He was delivering the lecture under the Kesari Amruth Satham Lecture Series, organised by Sanghinspired Kesari Malayalam weekly. The lecture was on Sree Rama Janmabhumi – “Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow”. Parende explained the history of the
Ramajanmabhumi movement, legal fights, the final Supreme Court verdict, progress in the temple construction and so on.

Parendiji’s lecture was an eye-opener for the audience because, some ordinary Keralites and self-styled intellectuals have been viewing the Ayodhya issue as something of “northern” significance. This is what we see in the political scenario also. Keralites always deviate from the mainstream national pattern. When parliament and Kerala assembly elections were carried out simultaneously in 1977, under fascist Emergency declared by Indira Gandhi, majority of the Bharatiya voters took it as an opportunity to throw away the fascist regime; but, Keralite gave thumping majority to the Congress-led United Democratic Front in the state assembly elections. It was despite the brutal police torture antiEmergency activists suffered in the state.

Parande alleged that these days, pseudo secularists keep on propagating that steps are being taken to create Haindaveeya Ramarajya. This is a sinister and false propaganda. The concept of Ramarajya is a symbol of our cultural entity which has evolved due to the collective efforts of all sections of our society from time immemorial. The movement’s presence is evident in our country now. It is a proud experience. He explained in his speech the history of the Ayodhya temple, current status of Ayodhya temple construction, needs of tomorrow and the future plans.
