Udupi, Jan 20: In observance of the historic day of the consecration ceremony at the Ayodhya Sri Rama Temple on January 22, Udupi MLA Yashpal Suvarna has urged students, the general public, and government employees in Udupi to take self-leave, as the state government has not declared any public holiday on the day.
The MLA has extended this request for self-leave on the significant day when the consecration ceremony of the Sri Rama idol at the Ayodhya temple is scheduled to take place.
He said, “Under the leadership of Siddaramaiah's government, the state government has consistently been at the forefront, leading the way for the minority community through its anti-Hindu approach. In alignment with the sentiments of the entire Hindu society, Karnataka has been actively participating in the dream realization of Ayodhya's Sri Rama Temple over many centuries. However, the Karnataka state government, in contrast to several other states, has maintained a silence on accepting a half-day leave from the central government.
“All the Rama devotees in the state are urged to take this auspicious moment that has occurred in their lifetime to actively participate in the joyous occasion and receive the grace of Lord Rama,” he said.
The MLA has affirmed his commitment to stand with students and government employees in taking any legal actions against educational institutions and departments that go against the directive of allowing self-leave for this sacred day.
