Mahasabha: Verdict underlines unity in diversity

November 09, 2019 12:26

The Supreme Court giving Ram Lalla's birth land for the Ram Temple is a salute to the sacrifice of lakhs of workers, says former VHP chief Praveen Togadia.

Hindu Mahasabha lawyer Varun Kumar Sinha welcomed the Supreme Court's judgement in the Ayodhya title dispute case saying that the judicature has given the message of "unity in diversity."

While addressing the media outside the apex court, he said, "It is a historic judgement. With this judgement, the Supreme Court has given the message of unity in diversity."

Also, minutes after the verdict, a group of lawyers were seen sloganeering "Jai Shri Ram" outside the apex court's premises but were later stopped by the fellow lawyers and people present in the vicinity.

A five-judge constitution bench presided by Chief Justice Gogoi will shortly pronounce the verdict on a batch of petitions against an order of the Allahabad High Court which trifurcated the site between the parties -- Ramlalla Virajman, Sunni Central Waqf Board and Nirmohi Akhara.

A decade-long legal dispute is being fought by right-wing party Hindu Mahasabha, a sect of Hindu monks Nirmohi Akhara and Muslim Waqf Board over 2.77 acres of land in Ayodhya.
