Congress Ram Mandir: ‘RaGa would overturn Ram Mandir decision like Shah Bano’, claims ousted Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam

Former Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam has claimed that after the Supreme Court announced its decision on the Ram Mandir dispute, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said he would overturn the decision like with the Shah Bano decision if the party is voted to power.

“I have spent more than 32 years in the Congress and when the Ram Mandir decision came, Rahul Gandhi in a meeting with his close aides said that after the Congress govt is formed, they will form a superpower commission and will overturn the Ram Mandir decision just like Rajiv Gandhi overturned the Shah Bano decision,” ANI quoted Acharya Pramod Krishnam as saying.

The former Congress leader said that Rahul Gandhi made this statement in a meeting between his close aides which included one United States of America-based counsel of the party.

In 1985, the SC had ruled in favour of Shah Bano, a Muslim woman from Indore who had sought maintenance from her husband after divorce, but the then-Congress government under PM Rajiv Gandhi overturned the judgement through an Act.

Last week Krishnam claimed that the party would soon split into two factions of Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.”The way Rahul Gandhi has left Amethi, Congress party workers’ morale is down. Priyanka Gandhi not contesting the election, this is now taking the shape of a volcano in the hearts of her supporters that will erupt after June 4. Congress will again be split into two factions, one of Rahul Gandhi and the other of Priyanka Gandhi… I think Rahul Gandhi should contest from Rawalpindi instead of Raebareli, as his popularity and demand are increasing in Pakistan,” he claimed.Krishnam was ousted from the Congress for indiscipline in February.
