Kapil Sibal reacts to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement on his plea before the Supreme Court to postpone Ram Temple Hearing and Sunni Waqf Board's reaction to it.

"Our PM comments without knowing things sometimes. Amit Shah and he said I represented Sunni Waqf Board. I was never a Sunni Waqf Board lawyer," Sibal said.

"The PM did not check the fact that actually I never represented the Sunni Waqf Board in the Supreme Court. And yet he thanked Sunni Waqf Board for a statement on the basis that I represented them. I request the PM to be a little more careful," he said.

"Will discussion on my going to the court and representing someone solve serious problems in the country? If yes, then the PM should say so. Issuing statements won't help India in anyway. It'll just take the nation towards controversies," Sibal said.

On the issue of building temple, he said, "We believe in the Lord, we don't believe in you Modi ji. You are not going to build that temple. It will be done when God wants it. The court will decide."

"Please address the concerns of India. Don't divide the people of our country like this. You may win perhaps in your mind, but you will lose badly and India will lose if you only care about yourself not India," Sibal said to the PM.

Meanwhile, Haji Mehboob, petitioner of the Sunni Waqf Board, changed his statement after remarks from the PM and Zafaryab Jilani, convenor of the Babri Masjid Action Committee.

"If Jilani saab is saying that what Kapil Sibal said yesterday was right, then I agree with him. Don't want to say anything else," he said.  -- ANI
