Ayodhya dispute: Indian court rules in favor of Hindus on holy site

CNN  

New Delhi CNN — India’s Supreme Court on Saturday granted Hindus permission to build a temple at the centuries-old Ayodhya holy site, ending one of the country’s most politically charged land disputes. In 2010, the Allahabad High Court ruled that the 2.77-acre land in Ayodhya should be divided equally among the three parties: the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla Virajman. Vishnu Shankar Jain – a lawyer for the Hindu Mahasabha, one of the litigants in the case – told CNN the group were “hoping for a little more” from the judgment on Saturday, adding that they had hoped the Muslim parties would not “be given any land outside the acquired area.” “But … we are very satisfied with the judgement passed by the Supreme Court,” Jain added. Ancient texts examined as proof Indian Hindu protesters hold leaflets with the picture of Lord Ram outside the Indian Supreme Court in New Delhi on January 10, 2019.
