Security on high alert in India as top court rules on the fate of Babri Mosque which was demolished by Hindu extremists in 1992
India's top court on Saturday will pronounce its verdict in a decades-old land title dispute between Muslims and Hindus over plans to build a Hindu temple on a site in northern India where Hindu hardliners demolished a 16th century mosque in early 90s, sparking deadly religious riots.Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a series of tweets appealed for peace ahead of the verdict.
Authorities increased the security in Ayodhya, 550 kilometers east of New Delhi, and deployed more than 5,000 paramilitary forces to prevent any attacks by Hindu activists on Muslims, who comprise 6 percent of the city's more than 55,500 people. The destruction of the mosque in 1992 sparked massive Hindu-Muslim violence that left 2,000 people dead.
