It is more than three decades that the Ayodhya issue has tormented us as a nation. It has helped political parties to garner votes and dupe citizens across religions and used conveniently to distract people’s attention from the core issue of governance. Most legal battles are protracted and this one is too complex to be resolved by the Supreme Court or by any other means easily. However, electoral concerns make a political party shamelessly misuse the Ayodhya issue emotively and divisively.
