Raipur (CG), Oct 29 : The government has full faith in the judiciary and fully respects it, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said here on Monday, hours after the Supreme Court postponed hearing on the Ayodhya issue to January next year.
At the same time, he said a lot people in the country want the case to be heard quickly.
The Supreme Court has fixed the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute cases for the first week of January next year before an appropriate bench, which will decide the schedule of hearing.
Addressing a press conference here in poll-bound Chhattisgarh, Prasad said the BJP never linked the Ram Mandir issue with polls.
“The Supreme Court today said the hearing (on the Ayodhya land title dispute cases) will be held in January. As a law minister, I should not say anything else, as you understand that there are certain limitations,” Prasad said.
“I would like to humbly say that a lot of people in the country want that the hearing on the issue should be completed soon. We have full faith in the court and we fully respect it,” the minister added.
