Ayodhya Verdict: Prime Minister Modi To Address Nation At 6 PM
Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 6 pm today (9 November).
The prime minister, who was in Dera Baba Nanak in Punjab fro inaugurating Karatarpur Corridor in the day, is most likely to speak about the Supreme Court's decision to allow construction of Ram Temple of the disputed land in Ayodhya, reports India Today.
PM Modi also said the Ayodhya verdict should not be seen as a victory or defeat of anyone and urged all to strengthen the spirit of nationalism.
In a series of tweets, Modi said the decision is notable as it highlights that any dispute can be amicably solved in the spirit of due process of law. He also said the verdict reaffirms the independence, transparency and far-sightedness of the judiciary.
Modi also said that the decision illustrates that everybody is equal before the law.
The Supreme Court on Saturday gave the 2.77 acre disputed land in Ayodhya to the Hindus and asked the government to give alternate land to the Sunni Waqf Board, which was a party to the title suit.
In the unanimous judgement, the five-member bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi directed the Centre to form within three months a trust which will build a temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya.
