Congress Working Committee to discuss Ayodhya Verdict
By ANITuesday, October 5, 2010
NEW DELHI - The Congress Working Committee (CWC) is scheduled to meet today to discuss the verdict in the Ramjanambhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit by the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court.
This is the first meeting after the Allahabad High Court verdict on the Ayodhya title suits.
The meeting of the Congress Working Committee to be held today will be the first meeting of the top Congress brass after the CWC was converted into a steering committee following Sonia Gandhi’s re-election as party president.
The meeting is expected to discuss national issues and finalise a date for the Congress Plenary session.
Earlier on September 30, the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court ruled by majority that the disputed land in Ayodhya be divided into three parts.
The high court bench decided to divide the disputed 2.7 acres of land into three parts, with each of the three parties to the suit getting a part of it.
The ownership of the disputed land has been divided as follows: (1) Ram Lala, the birthplace of Lord Ram, given to Lord Ram (2) Sita Rasoi and Ram Chabootra to Nirmohi Akhara and (3) The remaining part to be given to the Sunni Waqf Board.
Meanwhile, there will be a status quo in Ayodhya for three months during which a petition can be filed.
The Sunni Waqf Board has, however, expressed dissatisfaction with the judgement and decided to file an appeal in the Supreme Court against the Ayodhya verdict. (ANI)
