The Babri Masjid Action Committee (BMAC) has said that an out-of-court settlement to the Ayodhya dispute was not possible with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at the helm of affairs, the Indian Express has reported.

“With Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at the helm of affairs, there is no hope that justice will prevail with the Muslims. Both of them have been Bharatiya Janata Party workers and supporters of Ram Temple movement,” BMAC Convenor Zafaryab Jilani said after a meeting of its office-bearers in Lucknow.

Earlier the prime ministers used to be “neutral” on the contentious issue, he said.

Jilani said the solution to the Babri Masjid title suit can be arrived at only through the Supreme Court. The top court which observed that the matter is “a sensitive and sentimental issue”, earlier in the month, asked the parties involved to arrive at a consensus.

The BMAC office-bearers were also of the opinion that the Muslims will support the move if the chief justice or any other judge took an initiative to find a solution. “But, an out-of-court settlement is not possible” Jilani said.
