On Monday, Samajwadi Party MP Ram Gopal Yadav sparked a major controversy when he insulted Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud on camera. This happened after he was asked about the Chief Justice's remark related to the Ayodhya dispute. After receiving backlash, Yadav changed his stance, saying no one had asked him about the Chief Justice.
In his comments, Yadav said, "I do not want to make any comments. When you bring ghosts back to life, they become ghosts and start following justice. Where are they now?... Forget it, all such people keep on saying such things. Should I take notice of them?"
Later, when pressed for clarification about his offensive remarks, Yadav denied making them and claimed he was only asked about the violence in Bahraich. He said, "Nobody asked me anything about the CJI. The CJI is a very respected person. I never made any comment on him. I was asked about Bahraich violence, and I responded to that."
In response to the controversy, Akhilesh Yadav stated he was unaware of his uncle's objectionable comment and emphasized that they all respect the Chief Justice.
WHAT DID THE CHIEF JUSTICE SAY ON AYODHYA DISPUTE
On Sunday, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud shared that he prayed for a resolution to the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute before making his ruling. He emphasized that God will help those who have faith.
Reflecting on the Ayodhya case, which he worked on for three months, CJI Chandrachud said, "Often, we have cases to decide, but we don’t always find a solution. This happened with the Ayodhya dispute." He mentioned that he prayed for a solution, saying, "If you have faith, God will always find a way."
The Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute was a long-standing legal and political issue regarding whether the 16th-century Mughal mosque was built after a temple was demolished at the site, which is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Ram.
On November 9, 2019, a five-judge Supreme Court bench, led by then Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and including Justice Chandrachud, ruled that a Ram temple could be built in Ayodhya and designated a separate five-acre plot for a mosque, effectively ending the nearly 70-year-old conflict.
