RSS chief claims India attained true independence with Ram temple consecration, not 1947.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat claimed India achieved its "true independence" on the day the Ram temple was consecrated in Ayodhya, challenging the traditional view that independence came in 1947. Bhagwat said this day should be celebrated as "Pratishtha Dwadashi." He argued the movement was about awakening India's spirit, not opposing anyone. Critics, including Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut and Congress leader T.S. Singh Deo, question Bhagwat's claim, emphasizing that faith in Lord Ram predates the temple and that mixing religion with politics is inappropriate.
