The move has also reignited debates about the BJP's stance on personal relationships and the need for a Uniform Civil Code.

Additionally, a VHP leader stressed the importance of recognizing historical facts, while Union minister Giriraj Singh called for Muslims to hand over the Gyanvapi site to Hindus for communal harmony.
