AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi is apparently miffed at the appointment of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, as a member of the Supreme Court-appointed panel to mediate the Ayodhya dispute. Owaisi alleged that Ravi Shankar was “not a neutral person” and had made controversial comments on the issue in the past.
“Ravi Shankar had made controversial statements on November 4, 2018 on the Ayodhya issue and threatened that India may become like Syria if Muslims do not give up their claims on the disputed land,” Owaisi remarked .
He had also said Muslims as a goodwill gesture should give up their claim on the disputed land, Owaisi said, adding he expected that Ravi Shankar should now act as a neutral person without keeping anything in mind.
“When he is connected with the subject matter, when he had made his position clear on which party’s side he speaks… This is regrettable that such a person who is not neutral has been appointed by the supreme court,” he said.
