Sangh's Legal Gambit: VHP Meets Retired Judges To Discuss Ayodhya-Like Verdicts

At a meeting on Sunday, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad's "Vidhi Prakoshth" (Legal cell) invited as many as Thirty Retired Judges of the Supreme Court and Various High Courts. It is understood that the topics of discussion included the Legal Dispute over the Varanasi and Mathura Temples, the Waqf
(Amendment) Bill, and Religious Conversions. Attending the event was Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal as well.

"Retired Justices from the Supreme Court and other High Courts were invited. The Waqf (Amendment) Bill, the Return of Temples to society, the transfer of temples under Government Authority, conversions, and other collective issues were deliberated. The Goal was for the Judges and the VHP to freely discuss their points of view in order for both Parties to get to know one another better”, according to VHP President Alok Kumar.

Vinod Bansal, a Spokesman for the VHP, stated that it was a Forum for idea sharing. The topics of Nationalism and Hindutva were discussed. There was a discussion about Laws Impacting Hindus, Temple Liberation, Religious Conversions, Cow Slaughter, and the Waqf Board, he claimed.

Meghwal shared pictures of the event on X late on Sunday. Several previous Judges were present, along with prominent VHP Officials including Alok Kumar and Joint General Secretary Surendra Jain. "Retired Judges, Jurists, Senior Lawyers, and Intellectuals" were there, Meghwal said, adding that
"There was a detailed discussion on Judicial Reforms Aimed at making India a Developed Country."

In Addition to talking about Current Legal Difficulties, a Top VHP leader reportedly stated that Judges' Roles do not end when they Retire and that they still need to Participate in "Rashtra Nirman" (Country Building).

The development is important since the courts are currently debating a number of Sangh Parivar ideological concerns. These include the disagreements Concerning the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Masjid Idgah in Mathura and the Kashi Vishwanath-Gyanvapi Mosque Complex in Varanasi.

The Sangh believes that it can obtain "justice" on controversial issues like Kashi and Mathura through the Legal System, as opposed to Advocating for Grassroots movements that could upset Law and Order, in light of the Supreme Court's 2019 ruling in the Ayodhya Case.
