Allegations Against Rahul Gandhi: Vow to Overturn Ram Mandir Verdict

Allegations Against Rahul Gandhi: Vow to Overturn Ram Mandir Verdict

Former Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam made startling claims on Monday, alleging that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi pledged to reverse the Supreme Court's verdict on the Ram Mandir if the Congress forms the government at the Centre.

Background on the Shah Bano Case and Rajiv Gandhi's Action

Krishnam asserted that during a meeting with his close aides, Rahul Gandhi proposed the establishment of a "superpower commission" to annul the SC's decision, similar to how his father, Rajiv Gandhi, overturned the Shah Bano verdict in 1985.

Ram Mandir Verdict and its Context

In 2019, the Supreme Court passed a historic verdict granting legal authorization for the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. The temple's inauguration took place on January 22, 2021.

Resignation of Radhika Khera and Allegations Against Congress

Regarding Radhika Khera's resignation from the Congress, Krishnam predicted that more leaders would follow suit by June 4, citing patriotism and devotion to Lord Ram as reasons for their departure. He accused the Congress of harboring individuals who prioritize Pakistan over India.

Relevant Laws:

1. Shah Bano Case: The controversy surrounding the Shah Bano case led to the enactment of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986. This legislation aimed to nullify the SC's ruling and address the issue of maintenance for Muslim women after divorce.

2. Supreme Court's Ram Mandir Verdict (2019): The Supreme Court's decision in the Ayodhya dispute was based on various legal principles, including property rights, historical evidence, and religious sentiments. It paved the way for the construction of the Ram Mandir at the disputed site while also allocating land for the construction of a mosque.

These legal developments have significant implications for India's socio-political landscape, shaping public discourse and political agendas.
