Kolkata, Aug 5 (PTI) West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Wednesday celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony of the Ram temple at Ayodhya by lighting lamps at Raj Bhawan and wondered whether the "silence" of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the occasion is because of her "appeasement" politics.

The temple complex at Ayodhya "will become a symbol of modern India based on the ideals of Ramrajya", Dhankhar said adding that the groundbreaking ceremony would be a moment of pride and honour for every Indian.
