PM Modi says political parties played mature role in uniting people after 2010 Ayodhya verdict
The HinduDays before the Supreme Court is to deliver its verdict on the Ayodhya issue, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday recalled how political parties and the civil society played a mature role in uniting people when efforts were made to create fissures ahead of the 2010 Allahabad High Court ruling on the disputed land in Ayodhya. Addressing the people in his monthly ‘Mann ki Baat’ radio address, the Prime Minister said he vividly remembers the September of 2010 when several “interest groups” had tried to exploit the situation to their interest. “Thanks to the people of India, social organisations, political parties, saints, seers and leaders of all faiths, it became a day that furthered unity,” he said. A Special Full Bench of the Allahabad High Court had ruled that the disputed land in Ayodhya will be divided into three parts.
