Congress Moves Supreme Court to Defend Places of Worship Act, 1991 Amid Legal Challenges

???? Political tensions rise as Congress steps in to defend the Places of Worship Act, 1991, in the Supreme Court. The party has opposed multiple petitions challenging the law, which prevents the conversion of religious places as they existed on August 15, 1947.

Why is Congress Defending the Act?

Congress argues that the Places of Worship Act, 1991 is essential to:
✅ Maintain secularism and prevent communal conflicts.
✅ Uphold historical integrity of religious sites.
✅ Ensure legal consistency following the Supreme Court’s Ayodhya verdict in 2019.

BJP vs. Congress: A Legal & Political Battle

While Congress supports the Act, several Hindu groups and BJP leaders have questioned its validity, particularly regarding disputes over Kashi Vishwanath (Gyanvapi Mosque) and Krishna Janmabhoomi (Mathura). The Supreme Court will soon decide on the law’s constitutional validity.

Potential Impact of the Supreme Court’s Verdict

???? If Upheld: Religious sites will remain unchanged as per the 1947 status.
???? If Struck Down: This could lead to new legal battles over historic temples and mosques across India.
