Tamil Nadu, 22 January, 24: In a significant development, K Annamalai, the Tamil Nadu BJP President, announced that the Madras High Court has issued an order lifting restrictions on telecasting the Pran Pratishtha ceremony live on private premises during the consecration of the Ayodhya temple.
Court Upholds Fundamental Rights
The Honorable Madras High Court, in its ruling, emphasized that there should be no restrictions imposed on telecasting the Pran Pratishtha live on private premises. The decision underscores the importance of upholding fundamental rights, asserting that oral orders from the State government of Tamil Nadu cannot curtail the rights of individuals.
Devotees Granted Freedom
Devotees of Bhagwan Shri Ram are now free to telecast the consecration event live on an LED screen within any private premises. The court ruling allows individuals to exercise their right to witness the significant ceremony without interference from the state government. Devotees are only required to inform HR&CE-administered temples about their intention to telecast the event.
No Ban on Religious Practices
Additionally, the Madras High Court's order explicitly states that there is no ban on conducting Bhajans, offering special pooja, or organizing Annadhana during the Pran Pratishtha ceremony. This decision ensures that religious practices associated with the consecration event can proceed without hindrance.
Celebrating Religious Freedom
The court's verdict is seen as a victory for religious freedom and individual rights. It sets a precedent that safeguards the ability of devotees to participate in and celebrate religious events according to their beliefs. This landmark ruling emphasizes the importance of respecting and protecting the constitutional rights of citizens during significant religious ceremonies.
