SC verdict on Babri Masjid case: Who said what

Agencies
September 27, 2018

* Adityanath, Uttar Pradesh chief minister

It is for the country's benefit that the dispute associated with Sri Ramchandra Bhoomi gets resolved at the earliest. Majority of the nation wants a solution to this at the earliest. We appeal that this matter is resolved as soon as possible.

* Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM

It would have been better if this issue was referred to the Constitution bench. Also, I have an apprehension that the enemies of secularism in this country will use this judgment to realize their ideological objectives.

* RSS

Supreme Court has decided to hold a hearing on the Shri Rama Janmabhumi case from October 29, 2018, 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.

* Alok Kumar, VHP

I am satisfied that this impediment has been defeated. The way is now clear for the hearing of Ram Janam Bhoomi appeals.

* Uma Bharti

This isn't 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.

* Maulana Khalid Rashid Firangimahali, All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB)

The positive aspect of today's decision is that the court has made it very clear that Ismail Farooqi case will have no impact on the Ayodhya case. As far as the masjid and namaaz and the religious aspects are concerned, it is an established fact that mosques are built to offer namaz and they are an integral part of our religion.

* Advocate Zafaryab Jilani, the convenor of the Babri Masjid Action Committee

It is not at all a setback. It just means that the trial will start now. The court has clarified that the observations made by a Supreme Court bench in the Ismail Farooqi case of 1994 were made in a particular context and not related to this case. I think that serves the purpose.

* Rajiv Dhawan, Petitioner's counsel in Ayodhya title suit case

Majority judgement will please the majority, minority judgement will please the minority. Very problem we started off with hasn't been resolved. Not about arithmetic but of convincing everybody that SC should've spoken in one voice.

* Subramanian Swamy, BJP

I have contested that I have a fundamental right under Article 25 to offer worship at the place where Lord Ram was born. Supreme Court has now cleared the way for me to press for the fundamental right and that will prevail because now with this Ismail Faruqui judgment being upheld, Sunni Waqf Board has no fundamental right and only ordinary right to appeal for the property, so my superior right will prevail and I hope before Diwali, Ram Mandir construction starts.
