NEW DELHI/MUMBAI - After a decades-long legal battle, India’s top court is on Saturday due to rule on a centuries-old religious dispute that has strained ties between majority Hindus and Muslims and sparked deadly riots.
The Supreme Court in August decided to hear arguments every day in an effort to finally resolve the dispute over who should control the disputed land upon which lie the ruins of the 16th-century Babri Mosque, destroyed by a Hindu mob in 1992. Hindus say the mosque was built on a site that was already holy for Hindus. Lawyers representing Ram Lalla submitted archaeological evidence that they said proved the site has long held religious sanctity for Hindus.
Construction of a “grand temple” in Ayodhya has long been an election promise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party , which secured a second term with a landslide general election victory this year.
