CJI Chandrachud Expresses Hope for Ayodhya Dispute Resolution Through Faith
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud shared his personal reflections on the long-standing Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute, stating that he prayed to God for a resolution. Speaking at a ceremony in his native Kanhersar village, he emphasized the importance of faith, saying, “If you have faith, God will always find a way.”
Chandrachud recalled the challenges faced during the adjudication of the Ayodhya case, which he handled for three months. He mentioned that he prayed at the temple for divine guidance to resolve the matter. The CJI was part of the Supreme Court bench that delivered the landmark verdict on November 9, 2019, which allowed the construction of the Ram temple at the disputed site while also designating a five-acre alternative plot for a mosque in Ayodhya.
Chandrachud's comments come after his visit to the Ram Temple in July, where he offered prayers. The temple’s idol consecration ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 22 of this year, marking a significant moment in the temple's construction.
