BJP, RSS laud order in Ayodhya land case

New Delhi: Welcoming the Supreme Court ruling on Ayodhya, the RSS on Thursday expressed confidence that a just verdict on the case will be reached at the earliest. Asserting that the country will benefit if the Ayodhya issue is resolved quickly, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath said that the majority of the nation wants a solution to this at the earliest.

“Today, the Supreme Court has decided to hold hearing on the Shri Rama Janmabhumi case from 29th October by a three member bench. We welcome this decision and are confident that a just verdict will be reached over the case at the earliest,” the Sangh said in a statement.

VHP working president Alok Kumar said, “I am satisfied that this impediment has been defeated. The way is now clear for the hearing of Ram Janmabhoomi appeals.”

Union minister Uma Bharti said “This is not a matter of religious dispute, as Ayodhya is an important religious place for Hindus because it is the Ram janambhoomi but for Muslims, it isn’t a religious place, for them it is Mecca. This matter was created and it finally got transformed into a land dispute.”

RSS leader Indresh Kumar said he is confident the judiciary will decide the Ayodhya issue in a speedy manner and alleged that the Congress was against its swift resolution as it wanted to keep “problems alive”.

“Like in the case of triple talaq in which India and the world is congratulating the court and the judges for liberating 8.5 crore Muslim women from the clutches of injustice, they will solve this problem and create history in 2018 like they did with triple talaq in 2017,” said Mr Kumar told a news channel.  He added that he was confident that people’s faith in the judicial system will be strengthened.
