NEW DELHI The Legally Speaking event, the third Law and Constitution Dialogue organised by ITV Network, hosted discussions on the widely debated Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, on Friday.

Prominent legal and political figures shared their insights, exploring the Act's significance in the context of India's legal framework and communal harmony.

Each speaker offered unique perspectives, influenced by their political ideologies, legal expertise, and vision for India's future.

The Places of Worship Act, 1991, was enacted to prevent disputes over religious sites and foster national integration. It prohibits the alteration of the religious character of any place of worship as it stood on 15th August 1947, except for the Ayodhya Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute, which was already under litigation. By freezing the status quo, the Act aimed to deter new claims on religious sites and avoid conflicts rooted in historical events.
