Wait of centuries has ended, Ram belongs to all, says PM Modi in Ayodhya

Ram and his conduct should be the model for all Indians seeking to restore India to its rightful glory, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday after he performed the groundbreaking ceremony for a Ram temple in Ayodhya. “Wait of centuries has ended,” he added.
 
Although the PM referred to the various “obstructions” that had come in the way of building the temple, including some questioning the very existence of Ram, he did not dwell on the riots and loss of life and property of both Hindus and the minorities that accompanied the mobilisation that led to the temple.
