Lucknow: A day after the landmark Ayodhya verdict, the Home Minister, P Chidambaram made it clear that the resolution of the title suit has nothing to do with the criminal case against those who demolished the Babri Masjid in December 1992. (Read: Verdict doesn't justify Babri demolition, says Chidambaram)
While there was no violence after Thursday's judgement, there are now signs that some political parties have begun to give the verdict a political spin.
Both the Hindu Mahasabha and the Sunni Wakf Board have decided to appeal in the Supreme Court but political parties in Uttar Pradesh are trying to champion the cause of the minorities.
For the Samjawadi party chief, it is a calculated strategy to reach out to the Muslims. In the last Lok Sabha elections in 2009, minorties had voted in favour of the Congress. But now the Samajwadi Party, which traditionally has a large support base amongst the Muslims, senses the opportunity to win them back.
As the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) seeks use the High Court verdict to revive its Ram Temple agenda, within Uttar Pradesh, parties have already started leveraging the verdict for political purposes. (Read: Congress for reconcilliation,BJP says let the temple be built)
