Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the Supreme Court verdict in the Ayodhya and said that the verdict 'reaffirms the independence, transparency and farsightedness of our judiciary'. In a series of tweets, Modi lauded the 'calm and peace maintained by 130 crore Indians in the run-up to' the verdict and appealed to everyone that the verdict 'shouldn’t be seen as a win or loss for anybody'.

"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. Be it Ram Bhakti or Rahim Bhakti, it is imperative that we strengthen the spirit of Rashtra Bhakti. May peace and harmony prevail!" Modi said.

Taking to Twitter shortly after delivering a speech at the opening ceremony of the Kartarpur corridor, 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."

"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... 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 added.

The Supreme Court, on Friday, directed the Centre to formulate within three-four months, a scheme to form aa trust, and handover the land to the trust towards the construction of a temple.
