New delli: In the context of dismissing a petition seeking restoration of a 7-foot-tall decapitated ancient idol of Vishnu at the Javari Temple in MadhyaPradesh's Khajuraho Monuments Complex, Supreme Court Chief Justice B.R. Gavai briefly addressed the controversy surrounding his statement during the hearing on Thursday.

The CJI's remark on Tuesday, advising the petitioner to "pray to God for a solution," had drawn sharp criticism. Some portrayed it as a statement that hurt Hindu sentiments. However, today, the CJI clarified that he had shown no disrespect. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta remarked that events often receive exaggerated reactions on social media.BULLMER Striped Textured Printed Polo Neck Fullsleeve T-Shirt with Rib for Men

"We have noticed such things. As scientist Isaac Newton’s third law states, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. But nowadays, every action elicits an unequal reaction on social media," he said.Also Raed: Shivamogga Celebrates Dr. Vishnuvardhan’s 75th Birth Anniversary with Fervor: With Leadership of Shivamogga jds city president Mr. Deepak Singh https://www.insightrush.news/article/68ccf8469a00565d51289f08Also Read: Complaint Filed with SIT Against Soujanya's Maternal Uncle Vithal Gouda...

The bench comprising Chief Justice Gavai and Justice Augustine George Masih had stated on Tuesday that the matter falls under the purview of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), not the court. At that time, Justice Gavai had remarked: "Go and ask God to do something about it now. You claim to be a staunch devotee of Vishnu. So, go and pray right now. This is a site under the purview of the Archaeological Department, and ASI permission is required. Sorry," referring to it as a "Public Interest Litigation" (PIL).

Petitioner Rakesh Dalal had complained that the idol was desecrated during the Mughal invasion era, and despite repeated requests to the government for restoration, it remains in the same condition.
