Ram Lalla has returned to the grand Ram Mandir in the most beautiful manner possible. January 22, marked his return from exile and this time from a 500-year exile. The Prime Minister of Bharat, Narendra Modi, while addressing the invitees and the country from Ram Mandir following the pran pratishtha said, “Bhagwan Ram will not have to live in the tent anymore.”

Well, while all factions of the society are ‘Rammay’ and enjoying the Historical return of Ram Lalla to Ayodhya, some infringe elements have been targeting the Hindus and their peaceful processions.

In a shocking turn of events during the nationwide celebrations of the Ram Mandir Pran Prathishtha in Ayodhya, a clash ensued between members of the Hindu community and an Islamist mob at Mira Road in Mumbai on the evening of January 21.

Witnesses reported that the attackers used sticks and rods, targeting the participants, damaging vehicles, and desecrating religious flags.

The local authorities were promptly notified, leading to the deployment of a substantial police force to restore law and order in the area. Calls for the apprehension of the culprits grew louder following the assault on the Hindu community. Shockingly, even women participating in the procession were not spared from the aggression.

The incident has raised concerns about communal tensions amidst the joyous celebrations surrounding the Pran Prathishtha ceremony.
