New Delhi, Feb 25: Popular Front of India chairman E Abubacker has sought an explanation from Congress president Rahul Gandhi on the remarks made by AICC general secretary Harish Rawat on building Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Rawat has claimed that the Congress would try to build Ram temple in Ayodhya if the party is voted to power in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in the country.
“Such a controversial statement from a top leader of the largest secular party in the country is both shocking and disappointing. Since it is the second statement from Rawat, it cannot be viewed as a mistake.
It is still not clear whether the Congress would endorse or reject the remarks made by its general secretary”, he said reminding that if the Congress president chose to reject Harish Rawat, the nation would want to know what disciplinary action would be taken against Rawat for openly going against the party policy.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
