The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 30 Oct 2018The government should pay no heed to increasingly shrill cries for an Ordinance to build a temple for Ram at the site of the demolished Babri mosque. Passing an Ordinance on a subject that is under consideration by the Supreme Court would weaken the institutional integrity of the Republic, create further religious division in society and lay the government open to the charge that its commitment to a Ram temple at Ayodhya is an election gimmick that lies dormant for the most part of its five-year term and wakes up, just ahead of elections, all sound and fury. The sensible thing to do is to wait for the Supreme Court to start hearing the multiple challenges before it to the 2010 Allahabad High Court order dividing the disputed land into three parts, one to the Sunni Wakf Board and two to Hindu groups, and to wait for its verdict.
