New Delhi, Sep 27 : The Congress on Thursday said the party has always maintained that all sides should accept a Supreme Court verdict in the Ram Mandir-Babri Masjid issue and the government should take all steps to implement it.
"Congress has always been of the opinion that whatever verdict is given by the Supreme Court in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case, it should be accepted by all sides," Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi said.
She was responding to questions about the Supreme Court judgement on Thursday that rejected a plea for referring the issue to a larger constitution bench and referred the case to a three-judge bench to be set up that will begin hearing from October 29.
Chaturvedi accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of trying to "befool" people on the issue of Ram temple construction for the past 30 years.
She said that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government was in power from 1999 till 2004 and the Modi government has been in power at the Centre since 2014, but the party is concerned only about garnering votes.
"They remember Lord Rama six months before the elections to garner votes and forget Him afterwards. This duplicity is the real face of BJP," she said.

Beijing: China has reportedly tested a new kind of explosive device that uses hydrogen but does not involve any nuclear materials. This new weapon was developed by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC). It works differently from traditional hydrogen bombs, which rely on nuclear fusion. Instead, this device uses a chemical reaction with a substance called magnesium hydride. The explosion creates a powerful fireball that gives off extreme heat for a longer time, reported Economic Times.
The explosive weighs only 2 kilograms and uses a unique method to create a powerful blast. Magnesium hydride, which stores hydrogen at high densities, breaks down quickly when triggered by a normal explosive. This releases hydrogen gas, which then mixes with air and catches fire. The result is a fireball with temperatures above 1,000°C much hotter than regular explosives like TNT.
Quoting Wang Xuefeng, a top scientist at the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), The Economic Times reported that hydrogen explosions require very little energy to ignite and can spread rapidly. Wang explained that such fires possess the intensity to burn through strong materials, including aluminium alloys. Due to its precision and destructive power, the device could be highly effective in targeted military strikes.
During a field test, the explosive showed a peak pressure of 428.43 kilopascals at a distance of two meters. This is around 40% of the pressure made by TNT. But the real strength of this device lies in the heat it produces. While most explosives create a quick shockwave, this one keeps burning at very high temperatures for more than two seconds.
This long-lasting heat could make the explosive useful for hitting specific military targets, such as power plants or communication centers. It could also be used to block enemy forces by burning roads or transport routes, making them unusable.
