The Indian National Congress has stepped into a legal battle at the Supreme Court. They’re trying to stop challenges to a law from 1991. This law is about keeping religious places as they were back in 1947 and it’s meant to avoid conflict. Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay a BJP leader filed a case asking if this 1991 law is legal.
Congress is saying the 1991 law is super important for India’s secularism basically treating all religions equally. They believe Upadhyay’s challenge could stir up trouble. They see this as an attempt to divide people so they want to keep the law as it is to protect the country’s secular beliefs.
This court case is a fight over what secularism really means in India. Congress is actively using the court system to defend the 1991 law saying its needed for unity. The judges will have to decide who is right and the future of this law is at stake.
