Avdesh Prasad said that the reason for not inviting me to the flag hoisting ceremony in Ramlala’s court is because I belong to the Dalit community. Therefore, this is not respect for Ram, but an introduction to someone else’s narrow mindedness. Ram belongs to everyone. My fight is not for any post or invitation, but for respect, equality and respect for the Constitution. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat hoisted the saffron flag on the 191-foot-tall spire of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya, marking the completion of the temple construction.
The ‘Dharma Flag’ bears three sacred symbols, Om, Surya and the Kovidar tree, each of which represents the deep spiritual values inherent in the Sanatan tradition. The right-angled triangular flag is 10 feet high and 20 feet long. The Kovidar tree is a hybrid tree of Mandar and Parijat trees, created by sage Kashyap, which shows ancient botanical hybridization. Surya represents the Suryavansh of Lord Rama, and Om is the eternal spiritual sound.
