Lucknow, India — Web Desk: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has reiterated that the Babri Mosque will never be rebuilt, describing the Ram Temple constructed on the disputed site as a historical reality and ruling out any possibility of revisiting the issue.
According to Indian media reports, Adityanath raised the sensitive Babri Mosque issue while addressing supporters, stating that the mosque would not be reconstructed “even until the end of time.” He said the Ram Temple built at the site was a settled fact and that there would be no compromise on the matter.
“The question of rebuilding the Babri Mosque does not arise,” Adityanath said, adding that those who dream of its reconstruction would remain disappointed. He maintained that the temple site is associated with the birthplace of Lord Ram and that the issue should not be reopened.
The Babri Mosque, located in Ayodhya in India’s Uttar Pradesh state, was demolished by Hindu activists in December 1992, triggering widespread communal violence and decades of legal and political disputes. The case remained under litigation in Indian courts for years and was one of the most sensitive religious and political issues in the country.
In 2019, India’s Supreme Court awarded the disputed land to Hindu parties for the construction of a temple while directing that Muslims be provided alternative land elsewhere to build a mosque. Following the verdict, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the Ram Temple in a high-profile ceremony. The temple project has since progressed and has become a major symbol in Indian domestic politics.
Adityanath’s latest remarks come amid ongoing political debates and heightened sensitivities around religious identity and heritage in India. Observers note that comments on the Babri Mosque and Ram Temple continue to resonate strongly across political, religious, and social spheres, particularly as national and state-level political dynamics evolve.
