New Delhi: Worship by Hindus at the disputed site in Ayodhya has been accepted by Muslim witnesses in the case, the Hindu parties' counsel said at the hearing in the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Speaking to ETV Bharat, Hari Shanker Jain from the Hindu Mahasabha said that the evidence submitted showed that Hindus visited the site regularly for pooja and parikrama and it was even admitted by the Muslims.
Continuing his submissions in the apex court, Advocate CS Vaidyanathan appearing for Ram Lalla, said that after the demolition of the mosque, the slab was recovered which had inscriptions in Sanskrit. The inscriptions show that it was built in 12th century BC by the king of Gaharwar dynasty for Vishnu Hari. The Muslim party is doubtful about the recovery of the slab after the demolition.
Vaidyanathan further submitting said that there is intrinsic evidence in the slabs that refer to the temple.
Justice Chandrachud asked if the authenticity of the inscription was challenged to which Vaidyanathan said that according to him it was not.
Vaidyanathan also submitted a witness journalist's accounts which said that he had seen the slab fall out during the demolition as he was present there. Vaidyanathan said that the slab was not visible initially as it was in the structure but was recovered later.
Justice Chandrachud asked if the slab was submitted earlier in the court to which Vaidyanathan said no.
CS Vaidyanathan might conclude his arguments on Wednesday.
