'Ram is the idea of India, Congress can’t see as it uses foreign lens': PM Modi

Responding to former Indian Overseas Congress chairperson Sam Pitroda’s recent attack on him over his visit to Ram Mandir and Ram Navami celebrations, Modi said that Congress is divorced from the “idea of India”, which encapsulates civilisational history spanning thousands of years, because the opposition party always saw the country from a foreign lens which is anti-Hindu and saw Ram Navami celebrations and building a Ram Temple in Ayodhya as antithetical to India as it is understood and subscribed to all these decades.
