The Supreme Court directs Tamil Nadu not to reject requests for live streaming, of Lord Ram's 'Pran Pratishtha' in Ayodhya's Ram Mandir.

In a significant ruling on Monday, the Supreme Court intervened in the ongoing dispute over the live streaming of Lord Ram Lalla's 'pran pratishtha' ceremony at the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya. Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta directed the Tamil Nadu government not to reject screening requests for the event, asserting that no one is obligated to comply with oral orders.

The court issued notices to the Tamil Nadu government in response to a plea challenging the state's oral order, which allegedly banned the live telecast of the consecration ceremony in temples across Tamil Nadu. The government defended its stance, emphasizing that there were no such restrictions and that the plea was politically motivated.

Despite the government's claims, the Supreme Court emphasized that permission for live streaming should not be rejected solely based on the presence of other communities in the vicinity. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) approached the court urgently, challenging the DMK-led Tamil Nadu government's alleged ban on live telecast at temples and public places.

Advocate G Balaji, representing Vinoj P Selvam of the Tamil Nadu BJP, filed the petition, asserting that the government's actions violated fundamental rights. The plea highlighted the arbitrary ban on live telecast, poojas, archanas, and annadanam during the 'Pran Prathishta' of Lord Ram, urging immediate judicial intervention to prevent potential law and order issues.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman accused the DMK-led government of instructing the State Police to deny permission for the live broadcast, warning of possible disruptions during the ceremony. As the legal battle unfolds, the Supreme Court's directive ensures that the 'pran pratishtha' ceremony proceeds with live broadcasting, emphasizing inclusivity in a diverse society.
