Ahead of the Supreme Court verdict on Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute of Ayodhya, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stressed on the importance of reposing faith and respect for judiciary and unity among the people. Recalling the September 30, 2010 verdict of the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court,  Mr Modi said, on the eve of the verdict tension was building up in different parts of the country. He said, but once the verdict came, people observed restraints and all stakeholders contributed their parts to keep things calm and peaceful.

In his ‘Mann ki Baat’ programme on All India Radio yesterday the Prime Minister thanked the people for their observance of restraints and calm. He said, the observances of restraints should always be remembered as they impart a lot of strength in us. Mr Modi said, it is an example of how the voice of unison can bestow strength in our country.

The Prime Minister’s remarks have special significance as the Supreme Court verdict on Ram Janam Bhoomi Babri Masjid dispute of Ayodhya is expected in next month. The five-Judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court headed by the Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi reserved the judgment on 16th of this month after a marathon 40-day hearing of the case.
