NEW DELHI: The Congress on Monday asserted that the Places of Worship Act, 1991, must be implemented in letter and spirit, and said that oral observations made by ex-CJI DY Chandrachud in May 2022 seemed to have opened a "Pandora's box".
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh termed as "unfortunate" the various rows that have cropped up recently, including claims on a mosque in Sambhal and Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti's dargah in Ajmer.
"The Congress party in its CWC meeting on Friday (November 29) reiterated its firmest commitment to the Places of Worship Act, 1991, and that is our position. We are going to raise it but Parliament is to function for that, and most importantly, Parliament must be allowed to function," Ramesh told news agency.
