Indian court rules in favor of Hindu temple on disputed land

India's Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Hindu group on Saturday in a centuries-old dispute with minority Muslims over a place of worship in northern India.

“We are not satisfied with the verdict,” said Zafaryab Jilani, who is representing the Muslim community’s Babri Action committee.

Vishnu Shankar Jain, an attorney who represented the Hindu community, said the journey over several years had been a struggle. Raj Nath Singh, India’s defense minister, appealed to all to “accept the court verdict and maintain peace.” Modi's Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party secured a second term in power with a landslide election victory this year.
