New Delhi: The Supreme Court said the Ram temple is a “sensitive and sentimental” issue and it’s best that it is settled amicably outside the court.
Hearing a petition filed by the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Subramanian Swamy today, the Supreme Court today said the construction of a Ram Mandir at Ayodhya was an issue of sentiment and religion, and asked the disputing parties to sort the matter outside court.
Calling Ayodhya a sensitive matter, Swamy had urged the Supreme Court to constitute a bench to hear a batch of petitions challenging a 2010 Allahabad High Court order.
The 2010 order said that there should be a partition of the Ayodhya land between the parties to the dispute.
“The matter involves sentiments on both sides. It should be settled amicably between the disputing parties… The Supreme Court will come in the picture of you can’t settle the dispute outside the court,” the apex court said.
