On the 12th of December, a five-member bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Bobde had dismissed all review petitions filed against the verdict. A 5-judge bench, headed by the then CJI Gogoi, had in a unanimous verdict on November 9 decreed the entire 2.77 acres disputed land in favour of deity ‘Ram Lalla Virajman’ and also directed the Centre to allot a five-acre plot to Sunni Waqf Board for building a mosque in Ayodhya.
Amit Shah was addressing the rally as part of the BJP’s campaign in Jharkhand for the ongoing Assembly Elections where it currently is in power. Targetting the Congress party, he said that senior Congress leader Kapil had on purpose delayed proceedings in the Court. He said, “Kapil Sibal used to say, ‘Don’t hear the case now, hear it later!’ Kyun Bhai? Aapke pet me kyu dard ho raha hai?“(What problem do you have?)
