Hyderabad, Oct 21: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday said a judgment that upholds justice in the Ayodhya issue would reinforce rule of law and "deter those who want to distort to rule of majority."

"A whole generation of Indians have grown up in the shadow of Babri's occupation/demolition & a judgment that upholds justice will reinforce rule of law & deter those who want to distort it to rule of majority," he tweeted.

Owaisi, Lok Sabha member from Hyderabad, was referring to reports about parties arguing for a mosque at the disputed site urging the Supreme Court to go by values laid in the Constitution as generations would feel its impact.

The Supreme Court on Monday allowed Muslim parties, including UP Sunni Wakf Board, to file their written note in the decades-old Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case, in which they have submitted that the verdict will have "consequences" for the future polity of the country.

"The Muslim party contestants before this Hon'ble Court wish to state that the decision by this Hon'ble Court, whichever way it goes, will impact future generations. It will also have consequences for the polity of this country," the note prepared by senior lawyer Rajeev Dhavan, appearing for the Muslim parties, said.

Hubballi (Karnataka) (PTI): Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Tuesday said time will tell if the state will see a new CM after the by-elections to two assembly seats.

Bypolls for the Bagalkot and Davanagere South Assembly constituencies will be held on April 9. The polls were necessitated following the deaths of senior Congress MLAs H Y Meti and Shamanur Shivashankarappa, respectively.

"Why are you worried about it? There is no need to make it an issue... I have already said that time will answer it," Shivakumar told reporters in response to a question about whether he would become the CM and if there would be a leadership change after the bypolls.

Responding to statements by some leaders, including Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan, that incumbent Siddaramaiah will be CM till 2028, he said, "I'm not ready to comment on statements made by others. I'm the party president... either the CM or I will have to speak on this matter. Other than what the two of us say, the rest is immaterial."

Asked about the secret behind his patience, Shivakumar replied, "Time will answer."

Recently, Siddaramaiah had said that the Congress government will remain in power for two more years and that he is the Chief Minister of the state.

The leadership tussle within the ruling party has intensified amid speculation about a possible change of chief minister after the Congress government completed the halfway mark of its five-year term on November 20, 2025.

The speculation has been fuelled by the reported "power-sharing" arrangement between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar at the time of government formation in 2023.
