The Supreme Court has finally given its verdict on the Ayodhya issue after ages
The issue of Babri Masjid and Ram Mandir had been ongoing for ages In 2010, the High Court had pronounced its verdict by saying that the land should be divided into three parts, but no one agreed This case then went to the Supreme Court which has given its judgment almost 10 years later that both the Mandir and the Masjid will be constructed The disputed area of 2.77 acres
The Supreme Court said a Mandir should be constructed there The Supreme Court has handed over this land to the central government can appoint a trust which will then look into the construction of the Mandir The supreme court also said that the Sunni Waqf board should be provided a 5-acre land somewhere by the central government for the Masjid They can then construct a Masjid there This was to satisfy both the parties and allow them to construct both a Mandir and a Masjid A Mandir is to be constructed at the disputed site and the Masjid can be made elsewhere.
Hence the Masjid is to be allotted a bigger space The Supreme Court has also said that the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 was a serious violation of the law But the Supreme Court has not pronounced any judgment against them because this judgment was that of a civil dispute and not that of a criminal case
It is very likely that separate criminal proceedings will be pursued against them Was the verdict of Supreme Court right or wrong? In my opinion, this was an ideal verdict in case where decision making is extremely difficult If you think from the perspective of the judge of the supreme court then decision making in this case was almost impossible because in normal Court cases you have to think what is right and what is wrong legally But in this court case, you have to keep in mind the beliefs of the people You also have to keep in mind what is right factually and historically Because the Supreme Court has written in its judgement that historically, there was indeed a structure beneath the Babri Masjid There was indeed and an un-Islamic structure beneath the Babri Masjid but it could not be proved that it was actually a Mandir You also have to keep in mind the impact of your decision upon the people I think, factually, morally, ethically, historically, More important than these is what the consequences of your decision will be It might be so that you take a factually correct decision here But if your decision leads to riots in the country, then would it actually be a right decision? How to take a correct decision that would maintain peace in the country, that boosts communal harmony among the people of the country and fosters Unity and at the same time it should be legally and factually correct So you can see how difficult it is to keep things balance here
, Therefore, I have a lot of respect for the judges of the supreme court who took such a huge decision in such a calculated manage Some people could allege that this was a majoritarian decision This imposes the views of the majority upon the minority but I do not believe so My belief is that the majority of the population was not even interested in this issue Most of the people in our country are indifferent to whether a Mandir or Masjid is constructed They are more affected by the fact whether they are getting jobs or not Is the air clean or not? How are the roads constructed? How are the government schools and hospitals built? My belief is, no matter what the media shows you, in my opinion, the people are more affected by actually issues At the same time, majority of the population is indeed affected by the side effects of the Ayodhya verdict It may not matter whether a mandir or a masjid is constructed, but, but if a verdict was pronounced in the Ayodhya issue that would lead to riots in the country, then majority of the people start to get affected and that should indeed be so It should then indeed have an effect on them Hence, to take a decision that takes its consequences into account which would be the most peaceful decision, and it secures India's unity and secularism for its future That was of utmost importance here
This is a good news for our country that most of the people irrespective of whether they were Hindus or Muslims, have peacefully accepted this decision And I believe this decision is a lesson for our young generation Which shows us how much money, how much time and how much energy was wasted collectively by our country regarding this one issue Sometimes, it so seemed that this Ram Mandir issue was the most important issue in our country Lacs and crores of hours were wasted by our TV channels on discussions on this issue and conducting debates on it daily So much time of the people was wasted
The Supreme Court conducted its hearings for 40 days This was the second longest hearing in the history of Supreme Court It is a judgement of a 1000 pages Now, some journalists would waste their time reading this 1000 page judgement They would pick up some points and criticise them and then there would be a discussion on them Some people would want to file a review petition against it Endless This issue can run on endlessly But it is up to us to end it right here The people should say that "it is enough" after this judgement This issue has now ended here and now.
