Congress leader questions 1991 law protecting the religious status of Indian sites, citing judicial comments.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh says the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, is under scrutiny due to comments made by a former Chief Justice of India in 2022. The Act aims to keep the religious status of places of worship as they were in 1947. Ramesh claims these comments have sparked debate and controversy, especially as disputes arise over the religious status of sites in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.
