Statement of Honrable Prme Minster Narendra Modi @narendramodi on Ayodhya Verdict
देश के सर्वोच्च न्यायालय ने अयोध्या पर अपना फैसला सुना दिया है। इस फैसले को किसी की हार या जीत के रूप में नहीं देखा जाना चाहिए।
रामभक्ति हो या रहीमभक्ति, ये समय हम सभी के लिए भारतभक्ति की भावना को सशक्त करने का है। देशवासियों से मेरी अपील है कि शांति, सद्भाव और एकता बनाए रखें।
सुप्रीम कोर्ट का यह फैसला कई वजहों से महत्वपूर्ण है: यह बताता है कि किसी विवाद को सुलझाने में कानूनी प्रक्रिया का पालन कितना अहम है। हर पक्ष को अपनी-अपनी दलील रखने के लिए पर्याप्त समय और अवसर दिया गया। न्याय के मंदिर ने दशकों पुराने मामले का सौहार्दपूर्ण तरीके से समाधान कर दिया।
यह फैसला न्यायिक प्रक्रियाओं में जन सामान्य के विश्वास को और मजबूत करेगा। हमारे देश की हजारों साल पुरानी भाईचारे की भावना के अनुरूप हम 130 करोड़ भारतीयों को शांति और संयम का परिचय देना है। भारत के शांतिपूर्ण सह-अस्तित्व की अंतर्निहित भावना का परिचय देना है।
