Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has claimed that the Tamil Nadu government of MK Stalin has banned watching live telecast of the consecration ceremony of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on January 22. “In TN there are over 200 temples for Shri Ram. In HR&CE managed temples no puja / bhajan / prasadam / annadanam in the name of Shri Ram is allowed. Police are stopping privately held temples also from organising events. They are threatening organisers that they will rip off pandals. Strongly condemn this anti-Hindu, hateful action," she said in a tweet. She also alleged that LCD screens set up to telecast the consecration were being dismantled by Tamil Nadu police in plainclothes.
