Ayodhya verdict in our favour as BJP in power: Guj MP

Saturday, 16 November 2019 | PTI | Bharuch

Mansukh Vasava, BJP MP of Bharuch in Gujarat, on Thursday claimed Supreme Court gave a verdict “in our favour”  on the Ram Janmabhoomi dispute in Ayodhya because a BJP Government  is at the Centre.

It drew condemnation from the Congress which demanded an apology  and accused the MP of “fanning communal tension”.

Vasava, however, later claimed he was only pointing to how the BJP  government (at the Centre) was able to maintain law and order after  the SC verdict was delivered on November 9.

The Supreme Court in a unanimous verdict cleared the way for the  construction of a Ram Temple at the disputed site at Ayodhya, and  directed the Centre to allot a 5-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board  for building a mosque.

Addressing a gathering of BJP workers in Bharuch town on Thursday  evening, Vasava said, “The Ram Janmabhoomi issue was quite old. So  many years went by. The Ram Janmabhoomi movement was going on even  before India got independence. So many people were martyred and many  took part in the movement (to build a Ram Temple at the disputed site).”

“The Supreme Court had to give a judgement in our favour because  the BJP Government is at the Centre,” Vasava said at the gathering.
