Ravi Shankar Prasad.

Union law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has urged the Supreme Court to fast-track the hearing of the Ayodhya Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute case. Speaking at an event in New Delhi, on Monday, he said, “When the Supreme Court can give its verdict on the Sabarimala temple case promptly, why is the Ram Janmabhoomi issue pending for the past 70 years?”

Supreme Court judge MR Shah was among those present at the function.

The law minister said, “I appeal to the Supreme Court in my personal capacity to hear the Janmabhoomi issue like (a) fast-track court for a prompt disposal of the case.”

Showing a copy of the Constitution, he said, “There is a mention of Ram, Krishna as well as Akbar but there is no mention of Babar … but if we talk about such things in the country, a different kind of controversy is raised.”
