‘Can't compromise on Ram and Rashtra’: Acharya Pramod breaks silence after being expelled from Congress

livemint.com:

Acharya Pramod Krishnam stated on Sunday that there can be no compromise on Ram and the nation. In a Hindi post on the X platform, Krishnam tagged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, affirming, “There can be no compromise on Ram and the nation." According to an official statement issued on Saturday, Acharya Pramod Krishnam was expelled from the party for six years due to indiscipline and making anti-party remarks.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge decided on Saturday following a proposal from the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee to dismiss him from the party. Expelled Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam said, “I do not want to say anything, at 1:00 pm at Kalki Dham I will hold a press conference and say whatever I want to there." Acharya Pramod Krishnam's expulsion comes on the heels of being scrutinised by his party due to his public statements criticizing the decision of Congress leaders - national president Kharge, former presidents Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi - to decline the invitation to the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony of Shri Ram Lalla in Ayodhya on January 22.
