The saints of Kashi have demanded a public holiday across the country on the day of Pran Pratistha. For this, All India Saint Committee has written a letter to the Central Government requesting it to declare January 22 as a holiday.

All India Sant Samiti's General Secretary Swami Jitendranand Saraswati has said in his letter that the Government of India should declare January 22 as a public holiday. All the saints of Kashi have supported this demand. On this day, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the consecration of Ram Lalla in Shri Ram Temple, everyone wants to watch this historic moment live and if there is no public holiday in the country, many people will be deprived of it, the saints pointed out.
