Uttara Kannada: Dr. Anjali Nimbalkar, the Congress candidate for the Uttara Kannada Lok Sabha Constituency, criticised the Prime Minister's remarks regarding the Mangalsutra during a campaign meeting in Hosur Janata Colony.

Addressing attendees at the Congress campaign meeting in Hosur Janata Colony, Dr. Anjali Nimbalkar expressed her disappointment with the Prime Minister's recent statements. She acknowledged the respect the Prime Minister receives as the Prime Minister but criticized his remarks, citing the legacies of past Prime Ministers such as Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Narasimha Rao, and Manmohan Singh.

Nimbalkar highlighted the contributions of leaders like Rajiv Gandhi, who pioneered advancements in technology by providing mobile phones that are now being used for "WhatsApp university." Additionally, she credited Indira Gandhi for her impactful slogan of Garibi Hatao, which led to transition from "half chaddi" to "full chaddi".

During her speech at the Congress campaign meeting, Dr. Anjali Nimbalkar delved into the Ram Mandir issue in Ayodhya. She recalled that the decision to construct the Ram Mandir was initially made by the Supreme Court during Rajiv Gandhi's tenure as Prime Minister. Nimbalkar acknowledged the tensions and riots that ensued following the court's decision. She noted the recent verdict by the Supreme Court, which made way for the construction of the Ram Mandir while also allocating land for Muslims.

She expressed concern over the apparent shift from traditional practices in worship, highlighting the absence of Hanuman alongside Rama in BJP's campaign materials compared to the customary depiction of Rama-Sita-Lakshmana-Hanuman in temples.

Furthermore, she questioned the BJP's reinterpretation of history and religious traditions, advocating for the preservation of ancestral teachings and practices. Nimbalkar also spoke about the importance of respecting cultural heritage and criticised attempts to dictate worship practices.
