Ayodhya(Uttar Pradesh): No incident of violence has been reported to oppose the Supreme Court's verdict in Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title dispute case, Ayodhya Police said on Saturday.
Speaking to media, Circle Officer, Ayodhya, Amar Singh said, "No incident has been reported against the Supreme Court's Ayodhya verdict today. Whether it is Muslim brothers or Hindus, all have accepted the verdict. We have not faced any challenges."
"We have been patrolling all the areas to ensure that no rumour mongering is done by any anti-social elements," he said, adding that the deployment of force will remain the same on Sunday as it was today.
The Supreme Court on Saturday directed the Centre to hand over the disputed site at Ayodhya for the construction of a temple and set up a trust for the purpose. The apex court further directed the Central Government to give a suitable plot of land measuring five acres to the Sunni Waqf Board.
A five-judge constitution bench presided by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and comprising Justices SA Bobde, DY Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan and S Abdul Nazeer passed the order on a batch of petitions against an order of the Allahabad High Court which trifurcated the site among Ramlalla Virajman, Sunni Central Waqf Board and Nirmohi Akhara.
After the judgement on the decades-old Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit was delivered on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation and said that he welcomed the court's decision which he termed as an "example of India's belief in unity in diversity".
Further hailing the apex court's decision, Prime Minister Modi says, "Supreme Court listened to all the sides during the hearings of this case with utmost patience and it is a matter of happiness for the entire country that the decision came with the consent of all."
Throughout his address, Modi lauded the Indian judicial system that, he said, had helped etch today's date in history books in golden letters.
"The Supreme Court has shown to us that the most difficult problems can be dealt within the framework of India's legal system. It may take time, but it is better to stay patient. India's Constitution, its legal system — it is our great inheritance. That we have firm belief and trust in it is paramount. The apex court's decision today will bring a new dawn," he said.
