New Delhi, Sep 29 (IANS) A day before Allahabad High Court’s verdict on the Ayodhya dispute, Home Minister P. Chidambaram Wednesday said the government didn’t foresee any problems after the announcement of the court decision.
“India has moved on, especially the people who were born after 1992 (when Babri Masjid at the disputed site was razed by Hindu fanatics) have a different view. I don’t foresee any problem with the judgment,” Chidambaram told reporters here.
The home minister claimed that the government had taken “adequate” security measures to thwart any trouble after the Lucknow bench of the high court delivers its judgment Thursday.
“I hope peace and communal harmony will be maintained. The central government has made adequate security arrangementsÂ… There are 1.90 lakh policemen from all formations in Uttar Pradesh and I think 1.90 lakh is more than enough to maintain law and order,” he said.
In his appeal for peace, Chidambaram said the high court ruling should be seen as an end of the legal process.
Any party to the dispute that feels dissatisfied with the verdict can immediately approach the Supreme Court to challenge the high court verdict, he said.
