Sonia Gandhi has been invited to the consecration ceremony of the Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22, while her siblings Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra are unlikely to receive invitations. The criteria set by the Ram Mandir Teerth Kshetra Trust do not include Rahul and Priyanka as invitees. The trust is sending out invitations to three categories of political guests, including leaders of opposition in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, and those who participated in the Ram temple movement between 1984 and 1992. Several opposition leaders have declined to attend the event, accusing the BJP and RSS of using religion as a political tool.
