Disputed land at Ayodhya belongs to Hindus: Hindu Mahasabha

AYODHYA - Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) president Swami Chakrapani has said the disputed Ram Temple-Babri Mosque land at Ayodhya only belongs to the Hindu community.

Addressing a press conference here on Sunday, Chakrapani said: ” They are the 10th party in the conflict to file a case in the Supreme Court on the issue.

“Hindu Mahasabha never fights for personal and parochial issues; it fights for the rights of the whole Hindu society. We are the 10th party in the conflict and we have filed a case in the Supreme Court regarding the possession of the land, urging the Apex Court to hand it over to the Hindus only,” he added.

He also said Muslims should forfeit their claim on the disputed land.

The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court had earlier on September 30 ruled by majority that the disputed land in Ayodhya be divided into three parts.

The High Court bench decided to divide the disputed 2.7 acres of land into three parts, with each of the three parties to the suit getting a part of it.

The ownership of the disputed land has been divided as follows: (1) Ram Lalla, the birthplace of Lord Ram, given to Lord Ram (2) Sita Rasoi and Ram Chabootra to Nirmohi Akhara and (3) The remaining part to be given to the Sunni Waqf Board.

Meanwhile, there will be a status quo in Ayodhya for three months during which a petition can be filed. (ANI)
