This verdict is on expected lines. It signals the triumph of Hindutva.....something Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said way back in 2002, that Indians should not feel shy about Hindutva.
I will say in democracy, the majority views must be respected.
Of course, hope is, the matter has finally ended and it should bring an end to the centuries old dispute.Harmony should prevail between Hindus and Muslims though it may appear difficult for some time.But reconciliation is the best judge.
With the Supreme Court verdict in Nov 2019 allowing Grand Ram temple and now the acquittal of all Hindu hardliner leaders and Sadhus and Sadhvis, for the demolition, the dispute has perhaps come to an end".
The Opposition leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mamata Banerjee going silent or guarded, one can say -- India's ongoing march towards majoritarianism got encouragement. But India should learn to respect the majority in democracy".
Finally, the realisation ! Fear of losing its support base among Hindus has dawned on Mamata Banerjee and her party !!
It was a very guarded statement:
"It is a court judgement, so we cannot just say we oppose or support it. The verdict has come after 28 years, few people are unhappy with it. We have come to know from the media that some outfits have expressed their displeasure," senior TMC leader and party spokesman Sougata Roy said.
"We hope that those who are not happy with the judgement will get relief in higher courts," he said.
BJP state president Dilip Ghosh rightly dared Mamata Banerjee's party to take a stand on the issue.
"Whenever there is an issue concerning national security, the TMC leadership either goes silent or takes a stand which is completely against the interests of the nation and society. This time too the same thing has happened," he said.
"I ask them (TMC) to come out clean on whether they support it (the judgement) or are opposed to it. I am sure they won't be able to answer my question," Ghosh said.
Leader of the Opposition and senior Congress leader Abdul Mannan said Trinamool should "stop beating around the bush".
Another historical moment Advani making video appearance in court flanked by his son and daughter !!
"#BabriMasjid demolition was not pre-planned" - CBI spl court ...#LKAdvani acquitted
L K Advani's reaction: "abhi mein yeh hi kaha sakta hoon, Jai Shri Ram"
M M Joshi: "This verdict shows our movement was not a conspiracy and guided by people's wishes".
#CPI(M) attributes motives to #CBI judge for acquitting all 32 including the likes of LK Advani, Uma Bharti and others
"जज साहेब का प्रमोशन कब हो रहा है ?" - former MP Mohammed Salim
"Judge ka promotion kab ho raha hae"
Alok Kumar of VHP says: the CBI court verdict shows there was "continued insult" to Hindu sentiment and so the demolition was brought as a spur of the moment

"#BabriMasjid demolition was not pre-planned" - CBI spl court ...all accused including #LK Advani acquitted
The Liberhan Commission report - a Congress creation - has been also negated...
"On page 942 in its voluminous report, the Justice M S Liberhan Commission that probed for 17 long years on Babri Masjid demolition said (in 2009 report), "It cannot be assumed even for a moment that L K Advani, A B Vajpayee or M M Joshi did not know the designs of Sangh Parivar..... These people, who may be called pseudo-moderates, could not have defied the mandate of the Sangh Parivar, and more specifically the diktat of the RSS, without having bowed out of public life as leaders of BJP."
- Supreme Court verdict in Nov 2019 had said - bringing down Babri was illegal
now CBI court has acquitted all 32 including #Advani and others
In 2010 - Kalyan Singh, who was UP Chief Minister when Babri Masjid was brought down, had told me in an interview in 2010:
"The Liberhan Commission report is politically motivated and also not based on facts. What happened at Ayodhya on December 6, 1992 was not meticulously planned. It was only a spontaneous reaction of the anger of Karsevaks. I have said the Hindus and Muslims in this country must know and understand that Ram Temple will be built in Ayodhya and nobody can stop it. "
Of ourse, some sections of Muslims are definitely not happy. Vocal Asaduddin Owaisi of AIMIM and Hyderabad
lawmaker says: "All these leaders, Advani, Joshi and others got fame in politics due to this Ayodhya Temple
movement. Our Masjid was sacrificed...You destroyed me and this helped your politics and today you are
being given clean chit".
"What lesson you are giving to those who believe in the rule of law".
All India Muslim Personal Law Board member and a senior lawyer Zafaryab Jilani said the verdict will be "challenged by the witnesses and victims in the case".
But the legal case has seemingly weakened.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday itself a video went viral wherein BJP MP from Bhopal Pragya Singh, also
a Hindu saint, openly confessed to have brought down the Babri Mosque.
In the video, she says, "I am not denying it. I had demolished the structure. I will go there and help in the
construction of Ram temple. Nobody can stop us from doing that, Lord Ram is the nation and the Nation is
Lord Ram himself".
In fact, she had made the statement answering a question in the run up to the 2019 general elections.
In 1992 itself, the then chief of a regional party Shiv Sena in Maharashtra, Bal Thackeray, now deceased had said:
"I am proud of my partymen, if they had brought down the Mosque".
ironically, Shiv Sena now headed by Bal Thackeray's son Uddhav runs a coalition regime in the province
along with Congress party and another state-based party, NCP of Sharad Pawar. What kind of reconciliation is this between three parties?
Has Uddhav Thackeray completely given up Hindutva ??
