Thiruvananthapuram : Leading Congressman and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar stated on Monday that his party will soon decide whether or not to attend the January 22 Ram temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya.

Shivakumar made this statement shortly after coming to the airport to participate in an award distribution event as the main guest.

“We are all Hindus and what’s wrong in going for the function. It’s not a private place it’s a public one. The AICC will soon arrive on a decision about attending the function,” said Shivakumar.

“The problem is that the BJP is picking and choosing,” said Shivakumar.

Incidentally, all eyes are on the Congress party and on their decision regarding attending the function.

The ruling CPI(M) in Kerala has turned down the invitation and has said that it will not take part.

In Kerala, things are heating up as pressure has started to mount from the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) on the Congress, asking the party not to follow the agenda set by the BJP and fall into their trap.
