We have formed committees at ward level in cities and in gram panchayats in rural pockets for the campaign.”
The VHP activists will connect with Hindus through online and offline mode to ensure that at least five ‘diyas’ (earthen lamps) are lit in every house on January 22.
According to the plan, ‘diyas’ will be lit at houses and temples across the country at 6 p.m.
Singh further said, “The divisional office has received ‘akshat’ which will be distributed from January 1. Events like ‘bhajan’, ‘kirtan’, playing of ‘Ram dhun’, and ‘prasad’ distribution will be held in temples.”
