In Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, there was a 400-year-old Babri Masjid. But there is also a belief among people that Rama was born at that place. In such an environment, on December 22, 1949, some placed an idol of Lord Rama inside the Babri Masjid. At that time UP asked to remove the idols. Prime Minister Nehru telegraphs Pant who was the Chief Minister. CM Pant refuses to remove it. No one has claimed the idols inside. Then in 1950, two people named Gopal Singh Visarat and Paramahams file a petition that ‘they should be allowed to worship the self-appearing Ramapiran’.

Meanwhile, the Nirmogi Agora organization claims that the land belongs to their organization. The Sunni Waqf Board is also suing for the land. Many others are suing for religious rights. In such an environment, in 1986, District Judge Pandey gave a verdict that the devotees should be allowed to worship the Ram idol. Meanwhile, Hindu organizations begin a Rath Yatra demanding the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya. Now senior BJP leaders like L.K. Advani, Murali Manohar Joshi and others are prominent faces in this Ratha Yatra.

Babri Masjid was demolished on 6th December 1992. It also caused many riots in India. The central government is acquiring around 67 acres of land surrounding the Babri Masjid. Meanwhile, the petition of the three parties to the dispute over who owns the land where the Babri Masjid stands is seen as important. For about 30 years, the petition of these three people – Sunni Waqf Board, Chidda Ram, Nirmogi Agora – went on for nearly 30 years.

The judgment also said that the Sunni Waqf Board should be given five acres of land elsewhere. On the other hand, Nirmogi Agora’s plea was also dismissed.
