Nagpur :- On the call of Vishwa Hindu Parishad to make memorable the consecration program of Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on 22nd January, and to celebrate the day like Diwali, the Confederation of All India Traders ( CAIT) will launch a national campaign Har Shahar Ayodhya-Ghar Ghar Ayodhya from 1st January, 2024 across the Country.
CAIT National President BC Bhartia and Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal said that Shri Ram is not of any one religion but is the soul of India which reflects the ancient culture, civilization and rituals of the country and therefore, the CAIT has decided to actively participate in the campaign being run for the consecration of Shri Ram Temple on 22nd January.
Bhartia and Khandelwal said that in this context, the CAIT has issued an advisory to thousands of trade organizations across the country advising that from January 1 to January 22, trade associations in every city of all the states of the country should join hands with other social and cultural organizations and actively run the *Har Shahar Ayodhya- Ghar Ghar Ayodhya* campaign. Under this campaign, CAIT has set a target of taking out more than 5 thousand Ram Pheri in the markets across the country. These Ram Feris will create enthusiasm and connect the people in the markets through chanting Ram Bhajans, while more than 2500 Ram Samvad programs will be organized in which people will be encouraged to enthusiastically participate in this campaign. They further said that a target has been set to organize Bhajan programs of Lord Shri Ram by organizing more than 5 thousand *Ram Chowki* in maximum markets and houses of traders across the country. CAIT has also requested that hoardings should also be put up in the markets. Shri Ram Mandir stickers, posters etc. should be put up on shops and vehicles and Shri Ram cards will be distributed.
Bhartia and Khandelwal said that on January 22, all the markets across the country including Delhi will be illuminated with attractive lights, while on the same day, Shri Ram Mandir will be lit at many places in temples and other public places in all the cities across the country including Delhi. Arrangements will also be made to show live telecast of the Ayodhya event to the people through big LEDs by placing models and pictures and on that day, traders will fully celebrate all the programs decided by Vishwa Hindu Parishad in their cities. CAIT leaders have also said that traders will also worship Shri Ram on 22nd January by making Rangoli and lighting and decorating like Diwali.
The CAIT has suggested to the traders across the country that to preserve the memory of Shri Ram Mandir, traders should gift the *model of Shri Ram Mandir* to each other and keep them at their homes and establishments.
Along with this, pictures of Shri Ram including Ram Dhwaja and many things printed or engraved with replicas of Ram Temple have also started appearing in the markets and it is expected that all these will also be sold on a large scale across the country.
