SC's Ayodhya verdict to strengthen India's unity and integrity: Amit Shah

Following Supreme Court’s judgement on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit, Home Minister Amit Shah said on Saturday (November 9) that he welcomes the verdict and the order will prove to be a milestone and further strengthen India’s unity and integrity.

Shah, in a series of tweets, appealed to all communities and religions to accept the decision of the apex court with ease and remain committed to Ek Bharat-Shreshtha Bharat (one India, great India).

“I welcome the Supreme Courts’ unanimous decision on Shri Ram Janmabhoomi. I appeal to people of all communities and religions to accept this decision with ease and remain committed to our resolve of Ek Bharat-Shreshtha Bharat, full of peace and harmony,” he tweeted.

श्रीराम जन्मभूमि पर सर्वसम्मति से आये सर्वोच्च न्यायालय के फैसले का मैं स्वागत करता हूँ।

मैं सभी समुदायों और धर्म के लोगों से अपील करता हूँ कि हम इस निर्णय को सहजता से स्वीकारते हुए शांति और सौहार्द से परिपूर्ण ‘एक भारत-श्रेष्ठ भारत’ के अपने संकल्प के प्रति कटिबद्ध रहें।

“I am confident that this landmark judgement given by the Supreme Court will prove to be a milestone in itself. This decision will further strengthen India’s unity, integrity and great culture,” he said.

मुझे पूर्ण विश्वास है कि सर्वोच्च न्यायालय द्वारा दिया गया यह ऐतिहासिक निर्णय अपने आप में एक मील का पत्थर साबित होगा। यह निर्णय भारत की एकता, अखंडता और महान संस्कृति को और बल प्रदान करेगा।

Shah said the legal dispute over the site at Ayodhya has been going on for decades and the apex court has finalised with this decision now. “I congratulate the justice system of India and all the justices,” he said.

दशकों से चले आ रहे श्री राम जन्मभूमि के इस कानूनी विवाद को आज इस निर्णय से अंतिम रूप मिला है। मैं भारत की न्याय प्रणाली व सभी न्यायमूर्तियों का अभिनन्दन करता हूँ।

“Shri Ram Janmabhoomi strives for legal dispute; I express my gratitude to all the organisations, Sant Samaj of the entire country and countless unknown people who have tried it for so many years,” he said.

श्री राम जन्मभूमि कानूनी विवाद के लिए प्रयासरत; सभी संस्थाएं, पूरे देश का संत समाज और अनगिनत अज्ञात लोगों जिन्होंने इतने वर्षों तक इसके प्रयास किया मैं उनके प्रति कृतज्ञता व्यक्त करता हूँ।

In an unanimous verdict, the Supreme Court on Saturday paved the way for the construction of a Ram temple at the disputed site at Ayodhya, and directed the Centre to allot an alternative 5-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a new mosque at a “prominent” place in the holy town in Uttar Pradesh.

In one of the most important and anticipated judgements in India’s history, a 5-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi put an end to the more than a century-old dispute that has torn the social fabric of the nation.

“The faith of the Hindus that Lord Ram was born at the demolished structure is undisputed,” the court said in its 1,045-page verdict in the politically-sensitive Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case.
