In a historic verdict of sorts, the Supreme Court announced that the disputed land at Ayodhya must be given to a trust for construction of a Ram temple and ordered that the Sunni Waqf Board be given five acres of alternate land. SC also said the verdict could not be based on religious sentiments and that it has reached a conclusion as per law.
PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah reacted to the Ayodhya land verdict in a series of tweets. Here's what they had to say.
Both leaders termed the verdict to be a testament to the peaceful coexistence and religious tolerance our country stands for. Shah also expressed gratitude towards the Sant Samaj and the countless people who strived hard towards the verdict for the support.
Here's what PM Modi tweeted recently.
"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."
"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."

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."
