Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Saturday welcomed the Supreme Court verdict in the Ayodhya land dispute case and appealed to people in the state to maintain peace and harmony.
The Supreme Court in an unanimous verdict on Saturday cleared the way for the construction of a Ram Temple at the disputed site at Ayodhya, and directed the Centre to allot a 5-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a mosque.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a meeting, Sonowal said, "We welcome the verdict of the Supreme Court on the Ayodhya issue. I sincerely appeal to all the people living in the plains, hills, Brahmaputra and Barak valleys of the state to maintain peace and harmony, upholding the tradition of brotherhood among all communities."
He further said, "I am confident that people will extend their cooperation in this matter sincerely."
AIUDF president Badruddin Ajmal said, "We respect the verdict of the Supreme Court on the Babri Masjid dispute."
