After All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul chief Asaduddin Owaisi, S Q R Ilyas, co-convener of the Babri Masjid Action Committee and All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), it is now Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha's general secretary Dr Indira Tiwari who has questioned the presence of Art of Living guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar as mediator in the Supreme Court's three-member panel on the Ramjanmabhoomi case.

His 'neutrality' (or the lack of it) has been their point of contention. "I am more concerned about statements that Sri Sri has made in the past, which are a pointer that he is not fit to be on the mediation panel," the Hindu Mahasabha's secretary said. The panel has eight weeks to complete its mediation, with a 'progress' report due in four weeks.
