In a significant development, the Supreme Court has instructed the Tamil Nadu government not to summarily dismiss requests for live streaming of Lord Ram Lalla's 'pran pratishtha' in the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, Ayodhya. This directive comes amidst claims by the BJP that the DMK-led state government has allegedly banned the live telecast. The apex court emphasized that permission cannot be denied solely based on the presence of other communities in the locality. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu authorities deny any such ban, stating that screenings and special ceremonies are permitted. The decision unfolds as the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony is set to take place today, attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other dignitaries.
