The Nirmohi Akhara, a party in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit, has filed a plea in the Supreme Court over Centre's move to transfer excess land around the disputed site to its original owners. The Nirmohi Akhara has opposed the government's move seeking the Supreme Court's permission to release excess land acquired in Ayodhya, news agency ANI reported on Tuesday.

Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman said people have high standards of expectations from BJP, including on issues like Ram-temple and asked them to have faith in government, which had taken steps on matter. She asked party-workers and sympathisers not to complain on this account as-genuine-work was happening in India, which was at crossroads and country could not afford to lose the leadership of PM Modi.

National Commission for Minorities chairperson Syed Ghayorul Hasan Rizvi said that no hinderance should be created in hearing of Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land title dispute in SC, saying the earliest-resolution of it will benefit both Hindus and Muslims. "No-one should create any-hurdle in hearing of case. The country as-well-as Hindus and Muslims will be benefitted with the earliest resolution of dispute," Rizvi told reporters.
