No need for evidence that Ayodhya site was Ram Janmabhoomi: C T Ravi
Bengaluru: BJP leader and Karnataka Tourism Minister C T Ravi on Thursday said there was no need for any "evidence" to say that the disputed site in Ayodhya was the "Ram Janmbhoomi", as he expressed confidence about getting justice from the Supreme Court.
"The whole country is awaiting the judgment, I'm also waiting for it. Our feeling is that(disputed site) is the Ram janmbhoomi and there is no need for any evidence for it.
For thousands of years we have been living with that trust," Ravi said in response to a question. Speaking to reporters he, he said, he was confident about getting justice. The Supreme Court on Wednesday concluded hearing in the politically sensitive case of Ram Janmbhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute in Ayodhya and had reserved the judgement.
The Minister said, he had been to Ayodhya in 1989 and 1992 and was eager to visit Rama janmabhoomi once again once the case is settled.
Hindu parties vehemently sought from the Supreme Court on Wednesday the dismissal of the 1961 lawsuit filed by Sunni Waqf Board and other Muslim litigants, saying they could not prove that Mughal emperor Babur created a valid 'wakf' and constructed a temple on vacant land at the disputed Ram Janmbhoomi-Babri Masjid site in Ayodhya.
The judgment in the matter is to be pronounced by November 17, the day the Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, who heads the five-judge Constitution bench, will demit the office.

Navdeep Singh's silver upgraded to gold in men's javelin throw F41 at Paralympics
Paris, Sep 7: India's Navdeep Singh's silver medal was upgraded to gold after Iran's Beit Sayah Sadegh was disqualified following a dramatic men's javelin throw F41 final at the Paris Paralympics on Saturday.
This is India's first-ever gold medal in the men's javelin F41 category.
Starting the competition with a foul, the 23-year-old para-athlete from Haryana, who had finished fourth at the Tokyo Games three years ago, came up with a throw of 46.39 metres in his second attempt, propelling him to the second place. But it was his third throw that electrified the stadium.
With a monstrous throw of 47.32 metres, Navdeep shattered the Paralympic record and surged into lead, only for Sadegh to better the Indian's mark and clinch the gold with a record-breaking effort of 47.64 metres in his fifth attempt.
However, the Iranian was disqualified some time after the end of the final, leading to the Indian athlete taking the top spot.
The F41 category is for athletes, who are of short stature.
