Post the verdict of the Supreme Court of India, there seems to be an opening of a new chapter in the history of India and its cultural diversity which is far above the political narratives of the day.
Reactions through many platforms by people from all faith have demonstrated restraint and composure reposing faith on the judicial system. And in the middle of day to day survival instincts the common man on the street has nothing to agree or disagree with the situation arising after the court’s verdict.
But, reading through reactions aired by certain groups belonging to a community gives the impression that, there are a few wrinkles somewhere that would take time before being ironed out.
All have shown unanimity by saying that, they show highest regard for the apex court’s verdicts but at the same time some have looked the other way and shown some reservations over the final outcome.
For example the Sunni Waqf Board has in mind to seek legal advice on ‘specific issues’ and some have shown reservations over the date of the verdict. It requires no mention here as who they are.
Heart burns by a few cannot be ignored. Like, say, Mohammed Ali Jinnah of the Popular Front of India went a step ahead to dub the verdict as ‘ unfair’ and expressed disappointment over allotment of land for a masjid at an alternative location.
Despite all that, all have shown an unprecedented unanimity that, above all, regard for calm and harmony should be the top most priority towards strengthening a brotherhood.
Cutting across party lines all political parties have come forward to say that, the judgement by the apex court is ‘historic’ and must pave the way forward to end the decades old hostility over faith.
Saturday, it is a day that postulated composure and restraint by all and it has been so all through.
That was all about verdict and faith. But will the politicking over an issue as sensitive as Ayodhya stop ? There may be some characters in politics, later in the days to come, ignite a certain irritants to indulge in unwanted verbosity and paint the issue politically. That has to be brought under a limit not to cross the line of harmony.
