Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament (MP) and Indian National Congress (INC) senior leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Wednesday stated that the Supreme Court’s verdict is the best solution to the Ayodhya debate for both minority and majority. The senior Congress leader stated,

“I am a firm believer that the best solution to what is a very fractious issue in this country, the Ayodhya debate, both for minority and for the majority, is the Supreme Court's verdict.”

'A court's verdict is an excellent idea'

Singhvi further iterating his point of using the court to settle this case rather than the government said, "The government may try its best but even if it does a good thing, it won't be acceptable and the same goes for the opposition as well. So, a court's verdict, either way, is an excellent idea," he added.

Singhvi's remarks come hours after the Supreme Court reserved its verdict on a batch of petitions in connection with the Ram Mandir-Babri Masjid land dispute case. The Supreme Court on Wednesday, October 16, reserved the verdict in the contentious and politically-sensitive Ram Janmabhoomi- Babri Masjid land dispute case. The bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, and comprising of SC judges Justices S.A. Bopde, D.Y. Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan, S. Abdul Nazeer reserved the verdict in the case after hearing the concluding arguments from the parties.

The oral arguments in the long-pending Ayodhya case have been concluded. The apex court has given three days' time to the parties to file any written submissions. Additionally, sources from inside the courtroom said that the verdict in the case can be pronounced before November 17. Notably, as Rajeev Dhawan, the counsel of the Muslim body concluded his arguments, he has reiterated his demand to have the mosque restored in its original condition as it existed before the demolition on December 6, 1992.
