Ayodhya verdict: A fair decision

Dear Editor,
In one of the most important and most anticipated judgments in India’s history, a bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi put an end to the more than a century-old dispute that has torn the social fabric of the nation. I would like to express that I stand vindicated, and feel deeply blessed, that the Supreme Court has given its unanimous verdict paving the way for the construction of a magnificent temple for Lord Ram. People around the world have accepted this verdict. This is commendable and respectable.
Through your esteemed daily, I want to thank media for putting the whole issue in a positive note. This decision is giving a larger message. This is for ‘Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat’. This is the power of 136 crore Indians. This verdict is given by all of the judges unanimously. This shows the belief in each other and it shows we can take strong decisions in extreme conditions.
I am thankful that my Muslim brothers too have accepted this verdict and the dispute has ended now. This verdict strengthens the values of democracy. It’s not a victory or defeat of anyone.
Capt (Retd.) Sugam Singh,
Jammu.
