Ayodhya verdict: Modi calls for peace, says judgement will not be anyone’s victory or loss

Prime Minister Narendra Modi late on Friday tweeted in the run up to the Ayodhya case verdict, and appealed to all people and organisations to maintain peace and harmony. He said the judgement would not be “anyone’s victory or loss” while saying that people’s priority should be unity and harmony.

The verdict in the title dispute is expected at 10.30 am on Saturday.

Modi said that maintaining the honour of the Supreme Court was paramount, and that even while the top court heard the case, efforts were made to keep an atmosphere of goodwill, which were greatly appreciated.

Earlier in the week, Modi had asked his ministers and Bharatiya Janata Party leaders not to make irresponsible remarks about the Ayodhya-Babri Masjid case. The BJP and its ideological mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, have also issued such warnings.
