New Delhi : The Modi government on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to allow it to hand over land to a Hindu trust that wants to build a temple in Ayodhya.
The Supreme Court did not immediately respond to the petition. In the past, it has urged parties to the Ayodhya dispute to observe the status quo and deployed security forces to ensure there is no activity in the area.
Several BJP leaders including the likes of Dr Subramanian Swamy, Ram Madhav and UP Chief
Minister Yogi Adityanath have welcomed the central government move.

All other land including of Ram Janambhoomi Nyas is not under any dispute, the VHP said welcoming the Centre’s move.
