Will solve Ayodhya dispute in 24 hours if SC cannot: Yogi Adityanath

The Supreme Court must deliver its judgment on the contentious Ram Mandir dispute soon else the Uttar Pradesh government will solve it in 24 hours, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has claimed. “If the court can’t decide, let us take it forward. We will resolve the Ram Temple issue in 24 hours,” he said.

Yogi, who appeared on an India TV show, also said that any further delay in the judgment would only disappoint the citizens. “…If there is an unnecessary delay, institutions may lose people’s trust. It is causing a crisis so far as people’s patience and trust are concerned,” CM Adityanath said.

“I will still appeal to the court to dispose of the dispute soon. On September 30, 2010, the Allahabad High Court division bench gave its verdict not on the issue of division of land but upheld the view that the Babri structure was built by demolishing a Hindu temple or memorial. The Archaeological Survey of India, on the High Court’s orders, carried out excavations and in its report admitted that the Babri structure was built by demolishing a Hindu temple or a memorial,” he said.

“By adding the title dispute unnecessarily, the Ayodhya dispute is being prolonged. We appeal to the Supreme Court to give us justice at the earliest, to the satisfaction of millions of people, so that it can become a symbol of people’s faith. But if there is unnecessary delay, institutions may lose people’s trust,” he added.

The Chief Minister said “the unnecessary delay … is causing a crisis so far as people’s patience and trust are concerned.”

“I want to say that the court should give its verdict soon, and if it is unable to do so, it should hand over the issue to us. We will resolve the Ram Janmabhoomi dispute within 24 hours. We won’t take 25 hours,” he said.

When asked whether he would hold negotiations to resolve the Ayodhya issue or use force to settle this matter, Adityanath replied: “First let the court hand over the issue to us. I will still appeal to the court to dispose of the dispute soon,” he said.

Asked why the Centre had not brought an ordinance, Adityanath said the matter was sub judice. “Parliament cannot discuss matters that are sub judice. We are leaving it to the court. Had the court given justice based on the 1994 affidavit filed by the then central government, a good message could have gone to the country. It would have been a nice example. But this unnecessary delay is causing a situation where people’s patience is fast running out.”

On Priyanka Gandhi’s entry in politics, Adityanath said: “Congress has again proved that for them the family is the party. They cannot look beyond the family.”

On Rahul Gandhi visiting temples, Adityanath said: “This is a victory for our ideology. Rahul has now realised that if he has to live in Hindustan, he will have to show his ‘janeu’ and ’tilak’ in public. To me, Rahul has proved that Nehru was wrong.”

The Chief Minister expressed confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will win more seats in Uttar Pradesh in the coming Lok Sabha elections than it did in 2014.
