That report is still under consideration of the cabinet. It is up to the government to accept or reject a report. The report is based on scientific data only. The problem in this issue is to decide between faith and science.

What is the government planning to do next?

The government is approaching the matter holistically. We have more than two weeks to file an affidavit (in the Supreme Court).

Will there be a single affidavit this time?

Yes.

Will your ministry file this affidavit?

The government can ask the law ministry or any other ministry to file the affidavit. If I am asked to file the affidavit, I will do so.

Has your ministry been asked to contribute to or give inputs for the new affidavit?

No, not as yet.

Right-wing Hindu organizations? Why does the Indian media seem to be hell bent on labeling anyone with an interest in traditional culture and values as RIGHT WING? Conservative? Yes. Right wing? No. And to LiveMint - what is wrong with faith? Every religion has its "special places" - have you heard of Mecca, the Wailing Wall etc? Come on - dont tell me there is a question of faith there and that RIGHT WING ppl ask for those to be protected. Faith is personal, dont try to create doubts - thats not your role in our society. Grow up India - its time to be proud of our own culture and heritage. Its TIME! Drop me an email if you want to discuss.
