Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Wednesday criticized the BJP government for politicizing the upcoming Ram Temple idol installation ceremony in Ayodhya on January 22nd. Launching an attack on the BJP without naming the party, Tharoor said he saw "religion as a personal attribute and not one for political misuse." "Temples are not the government's business; unemployment, inflation, public welfare and national security are. But the media allows the temple to turn the focus away from those issues," Tharoor said. The Kerala MP added that he hadn't been invited to the event but told the media that by making it a major news story, they were "playing into the hands of those who want to milk political benefit from the Ram Mandir."
