There is a massive heart-burning in The Hindu and Indian Express today on the appointment of spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar by Supreme Court as one of the mediators in the long-simmering Ayodhya dispute.
The SC sent the Ayodhya dispute to mediation, the panel is headed by Retired Justice FM Kalifullah and has Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Sriram Panchu as the other members
The Supreme Court on Wednesday had reserved its order on the matter of referring the Ayodhya dispute to a court-appointed and monitored mediation. While the Muslim petitioners were "agreeable to mediation", Hindu petitioners had opposed it.
The tilaks on Rahul Gandhi's forehead might have replaced the skullcaps in his media images, but Congress has sure been driven into a tight corner over the Ramjanmabhoomi issue.
Mehboob also suggested that the move was political. He stated, “The whole world knows about the current position of the BJP, therefore the Modi government took this step.”
Modi government has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking permission to release the land acquired around the site of Ram Janambhoomi at Ayodhya
