The BJP, the RSS and the Shiv Sena on Wednesday welcomed the Babri Masjid demolition case verdict in which all 32 accused, including BJP leaders LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti, have been acquitted.

Advani welcomed the court verdict by chanting “Jai Shri Ram” and said it came in “footsteps of another order which paved the way for my dream of seeing a Ram Mandir in Ayodhya”.

“It is a very important decision and a matter of happiness for us. When we heard the news of the court’s order, we welcomed it by chanting Jai Shri Ram,” Advani said in a video message.

Another BJP veteran Murli Manohar Joshi, acquitted in the case, expressed happiness on the verdict and shared sweets at his residence.

The RSS has issued a statement and appealed that all sections must accept the “Babri Masjid demolition case verdict”.

In its statement, the RSS said that the “Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh welcomes the special CBI court’s decision to acquit all accused, including LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti — among all — in the demolition of the controversial structure.”

“All sections of the society should come together in unity and harmony and work successfully to face the challenges before the country”.

Taking to twitter, BJP leader Ram Madhav welcomed the Babri Masjid demolition case verdict, saying victory has triumphed. He said the acquittal in Ramjnmbhumi conspiracy case was long overdue and asked everyone to welcome the judgement.

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi tweets “Jai Shri Ram”. “All the accused, including Advaniji, acquitted. There was no pre-planned conspiracy to demolish the Babri structure,” he added.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also expressed happiness over the Babri demolition case verdict and said justice wins. He also said that the decision makes it clear that “for political bias by the then Congress Government, who indulged in vote bank politics, led them to defame the country’s revered saints, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, senior officials associated with the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and various other social organisations.”

The UP Chief Minister also said those responsible for the conspiracy should apologise to the people of the country.

The Shiv Sena has welcomed the acquittal of 32 accused associated with the Ram Janmabhoomi movement in the Babri Masjid demolition case. Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said on Wednesday that both the party as well as Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray have welcomed the verdict.

“We should not forget the incident as grand Ram Mandir is now being built. If the Babri structure had not come down, we would not have seen the construction of the Ram temple,” Raut said, reacting to the verdict.
