First official speech, Goa Governor Satyapal Malik said that when Lord Ram was sent to exile from Ayodhya and while he was fighting Ravana to bring back Sita, no upper caste person helped him Had. He also said that tribal and lower caste people helped Lord Rama during his exile. He said that even when Ram left for Lanka, only tribal and lower caste people were with him.
In his speech during the second Adivasi Students' Conference on Thursday in Ponda town of South Goa, 35 km from Panaji, Malik said, "There is a discussion about the construction of a grand temple for Lord Rama in Ayodhya. A grand Ram temple will also be built. I listen to speeches of saints and mahants of high rank every day. Whenever he states his point of view, he speaks about the idol of Ramlala and the Ram Darbar. "Malik took charge as the Governor of Goa on November 3, after which he has made a public speech for the first time.
He said, "Nobody speaks about the statue of Kevat and Shabari. When Ram's wife and mother Sita were kidnapped, Ram's brother was the king of Ayodhya. Then not a single soldier from Ayodhya, not a single person came to help him. When he left for Lanka, he was accompanied by tribals, and only lower caste people. Can anyone tell me if anyone from the upper caste helped in the fight with them? He said that when a trust would be formed for the construction of the temple, he would advocate for the statue of the cave and Shabari next to Lord Rama in the court hall of the temple.
