This Saturday, a five-judge constitutional bench of the Supreme Court delivered its verdict in the 70-year-old dispute. The judgement in the case of dispute over a 22.7-acre land parcel comes after a marathon, sometimes acrimonious, 40-day hearing which concluded on 16 October.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from the start has maintained that a temple should be constructed on at the disputed site. On Friday, Modi in a series of tweets appealed for peace ahead of the verdict and said that it won’t be anybody’s win or loss.
