India PM Modi lays foundation for Ayodhya Ram temple amid Covid surge - BBC News
Indian PM Narendra Modi has laid the foundation stone for a Hindu temple in the northern city of Ayodhya. Hindu mobs demolished a medieval mosque there in 1992, saying it was built on the ruins of a temple for Lord Ram, a revered deity. Hindus and Muslims claimed ownership over the site for decades. Last year, the top court gave the site to Hindus, ending a decades-long legal battle. The inauguration comes amid a massive surge in coronavirus cases in India. The dispute, which goes back more than a century, has been one of India's thorniest court cases. The Supreme Court gave Muslims another plot of land in the city to construct a mosque. #BBCOS #BBCOutsideSource Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
