PM lauds people for showing maturity post Ayodhya verdict

New Delhi, November 24

“I never had the desire to enter politics, but since I am part of it now, I give my best on how to work for the people,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday. 

During his “Mann ki Baat” radio programme, the PM thanked the people for showing maturity after the Ayodhya verdict. “The patience, restraint and maturity displayed by the people after the Supreme Court delivered its verdict in the Ayodhya case proves that there is nothing bigger than national interest for Indians,” he said.

He also said after the “historic verdict”, the country had moved ahead on a new path, with a new resolve.

“The resolve … full of new hopes and aspirations. It is my hope and wish that New India imbibes this feeling and forges ahead in a spirit of peace, unity and goodwill.”   

The PM said while on the one hand a protracted legal battle had ended, on the other respect for judiciary had grown. “In the truest sense, this verdict has also proved to be a milestone for the judiciary in our country,” he added. — PTI
