Web Desk‌Updated: Monday Nov 18, 2019

NEW DELHI : CPI(M) believes in gender equality, said  party General Secretary Sitaram Yechury adding that, the apex court should  come out with a final judgment at an early time. 

The Constitution Bench, rather than focusing on the challenged 2018 verdict, chose to refer the constitutionality of various  practices in other religions, to a Larger Bench.

The judgment raises doubts on several counts. Until the time the court is  conspicuous on the issue,  the ongoing limbo is here to stay, Yechury said.

Referring to Ayodhya verdict, the leader said,  Babri Masjid dragged through 3 decades.

Leaders including LK Advani, Murali Manohar Joshi and Kalyan Singh were indicted in the case. The top court ruled that razing the mosque was unlawful. So how has the verdict delivered justice, asked Yechury. “Have the wrongdoers  been punished ? “ he added.

Hinting  that the mechanism of law should run its course, Yechury said, the judgment should  not come in the way of booking the guilty.

He was addressing a press conference in the capital, Monday.
