Ayodhya: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in Ayodhya will not organise a major event on December 6 this year. The day will be a 'normal affair,' with no special events planned. The Babri Mosque in Ayodhya was demolished by a ferocious crowd of kar sevaks on December 6, 1992, and the VHP has been commemorating the day as 'Shaurya Diwas' ever since.
VHP national working president Alok Kumar said before media that "Some things have become everyday affairs, and there is no need to make the occasion an extra spectacle." Sharad Sharma, a VHP spokesperson in Ayodhya, said that an appeal would be made to the people to burn earthen lamps to commemorate the event. "The determination has resulted in success"), he added.
The event is significant politically in Uttar Pradesh since the BJP has been attempting to portray the construction of the Ram Temple as a "fulfilment of a promise" in the state, which is set to hold elections in the coming months.
After the BJP came to power in 2017, the government of Yogi Adityanath focused on Ayodhya, holding a yearly 'Deepotsav' in the temple town.
