In this video, Sreenivasan Jain breaks down the key factual inconsistencies in the former Chief Justice DY Chandrachud’s claims from his viral interview.

When asked why the desecration of the Babri mosque in 1949 didn’t weigh against the Hindu parties, Chandrachud asserted that the very erection of the mosque was the fundamental desecration, despite the Supreme Court judgement itself noting that there is no archeological evidence to suggest that an earlier structure was demolished to build the mosque.

Similarly, when asked about the Supreme Court’s decision to permit an investigation into the Gyanvapi mosque in Benaras, Chandrachud justified the decision by claiming that its “undisputed” that Hindu prayer had historically taken place in the mosque’s basement – a claim and contested by the mosque’s caretakers and courts. This has intensified debates surrounding his judicial legacy.
