New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday reiterated his message to the people to ‘not view the Ayodhya verdict as either a victory or a defeat’, as the Supreme Court pronounced its landmark judgment putting an end to century-old clash which has caused several damages to the social fabric of India. Stating so, PM again appealed to countrymen for peace, unity and amity. “Be it Ram Bhakti or Rahim Bhakti, it is imperative that we strengthen the spirit of Rashtra Bhakti,” PM said in a series of tweets after the verdict. He also asserted that the SC verdict in Ayodhya case will strengthen people's faith in judicial system. The temple of justice (the apex court) has resolved decades old dispute amicably, Modi said. “SC’s Ayodhya Judgment is notable because: It highlights that any dispute can be amicably solved in the spirit of due process of law. It reaffirms the independence, transparency and farsightedness of our judiciary.  It clearly illustrates everybody is equal before the law.This decision will further strengthen the confidence of the common man in judicial processes,” he tweeted. “The halls of justice have amicably concluded a matter going on for decades. Every side, every point of view was given adequate time and opportunity to express differing points of view. This verdict will further increase people’s faith in judicial processes,” he added. “The calm and peace maintained by 130 crore Indians in the run-up to today’s verdict manifests India’s inherent commitment to peaceful coexistence. May this very spirit of unity and togetherness power the development trajectory of our nation. May every Indian be empowered,” he said.

The Honourable Supreme Court has given its verdict on the Ayodhya issue. This verdict shouldn’t be seen as a win or loss for anybody.
