    Raebareli: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Thursday termed as "absolute lie" Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks that her party will put a "Babri lock" on the Ram temple in Ayodhya if it is voted to power, saying court judgments will be honoured.

    Prime Minister Modi had recently stated at a rally in Madhya Pradesh that he wants the BJP-led NDA to win 400 seats in the Lok Sabha polls to ensure that the Congress does not bring back Article 370 in Kashmir and also put a "Babri lock" on the Ram temple in Ayodhya.

    "This is an absolute lie ("yeh ekdum jhooth hai"). The Congress party has said a number of times that it will honour the judgment of the court. We have done this (in the past), and will do so in the future," she told reporters here.

    Priyanka Gandhi also said she wants the prime minister to read the Congress manifesto before commenting on it. "Though he is the prime minister and elder to me... my advice is that he should first read the (Congress) manifesto, and then comment on it, " she said.
