Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman accuses the Tamil Nadu government of prohibiting puja in over 200 temples for Lord Ram on the day of Ayodhya Ram Mandir's consecration. Sitharaman claims restrictions on live telecast and police interference in privately organized events. Tamil Nadu Minister P K Sekar Babu refutes the allegation, stating no ban exists, and it's a rumor diverting attention from a DMK youth wing conference. Babu deems Sitharaman's post as false with ulterior motives, expressing regret over the dissemination of fake news. The conflicting statements highlight political tensions surrounding religious events in the state.
