What sloppy writing is that...  It was not a "report on Ram", for
goodness sake. The document being referred to is a (counter-)
affidavit filed in the course of a case, and was not really about Ram,
or religion.

Inasmuch as an affidavit is a written statement of facts, the ASI was
attempting to state there was no factual basis for the legend of Ramar
Sethu.

"The Hindu" had a good editorial today on the controversy:
