grand consecration ceremony of Ram Temple on January 22. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other high-profile dignitaries from across the world will be present during the ceremony.
Recently, PM Modi inaugurated projects worth more than ₹15,000 crore in Ayodhya. The Babri Masjid was demolished by a violent mob of Karsevaks on December 6, 1992, as it was part of the long-going Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi dispute.
After the demolition, communal clashes broke out across the nation in which around 2,000 people were killed. The government took action against rioters and even formed the Liberhan Commission to probe the matter, but many perpetrators of the crime remain at large.
The Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi dispute was one of the oldest legal cases in India which started in 1885 and went through several ups and downs before 2019, when the Supreme Court ordered the construction of Ram Temple on the disputed 2.77 acres of land and gave alternative 5 acres of land to Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board, for building the mosque.
