«Mohan Bhagwat has said that India got independence on that day, which is wrong because Ram Lalla has been in this nation for lakhs of years.

He should not do politics in the name of Ram Lalla, only then the nation will be independent in a true sense,» Raut, who is Shiv Sena (UBT) MP in Rajya Sabha, told reporters.
He further said that the Pran Pratishtha ceremony was a matter of pride for the nation, which saw contributions from everyone. Taking a dig at Bhagwat, he said that the RSS chief was an honourable person, but not the architect of the constitution.
